What do you think? Personally I'm all for it. I think it's important to have as many young people involved in politics to counteract the old majority.

Young voters may to manipulate by others but they are also less set in their ways. I'd say that older people are being manipulated by their past selves. After all that would explain a lot of irrationality regarding necessary changes to deal with climate change and other issues that won't go away.
