European democracy
#TheFutureIsYours Strengthening European democracy
Es gibt keinen sachlichen Grund, wieso EU-Bürgerinnen und EU-Bürger nicht schon ab einem Alter von 16 bei Europawahlen wählen dürfen. Auch das EU-Parlament sieht dies so. Dennoch legen die Mitgliedsstaaten eigenmächtig und unterschiedlich das Wahlalter fest; in den meisten Ländern ist dies das Alter von 18 Jahren.
Die EU sollte die entsprechenden Gesetze ändern, damit europaweit ab 16 an Europawahlen teilgenommen werden darf.

@tomas_uten We need to take accountability for Brexit and stop blaming populism and disinformation. We need to reflect on what is so unwelcoming in the European Union that a majority of Britons don't want to hear none of it. Unfortunately, instead Brexit being a waking call, the EU is doubling down in their mistakes.
Misinformation traveled both ways, we also played the disinformation game with fear mongering statements about the UK's economy tanking and, as it turns out, their economy is doing just fine and on top of that they humbled the EU by doing a much better job deploying vaccines.
Giving the right to vote to children so that they can be manipulated into political games not only is not going to unite Europe but to fracture it. Let children be children, there will be time for politicians to bitter their lives.
