00:00I think everybody has the right to vote. No matter, as long as their intelligence is enough to explain who they're voting for and why.
00:0716, fair enough, you're just coming out of secondary school, aren't you? You're just starting college. You've got a little bit of intelligence about you.
00:14I'd rather 18.
00:15I think I would rather have 18 too. I think it's a bit too young.
00:18Yes. And also, young people at 16 are not really interested in politics.
00:24But getting towards 18, they're now, you know, seeing things and more working life and what have you. They're interested now.
00:31Yeah, I probably would support it because you have to think the younger generation are going to make a difference to the older generation, what we are now.
00:42So, like, the people who are the older, they're going to make a difference on it.
00:46I'm not dissing adults, but there's only so much an adult can do without the voice of their children.
00:52The government needs younger minds to know exactly how to run the country.
00:58So, yeah, I agree with that.
