I've a couple of great grandkids who could be bribed with a Spiderman & a Dinosaur as to how they vote - almost 5 & almost 3....
I can see a whole new group of votes being hitched to which lot provides the best loot.
We need to have a voting age, due to human brains being especially stupid until properly developed - & yes, there is certainly an argument to be made that some never do, but most manage it eventually, mostly around the mid 20s.
Its just that I have this vision of hordes of young & stupid teenagers (I know, I used to be one) banding together on social media to vote for someone based on looks, or not vote based on dislike of hairstyle or something equally daft & shallow.

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
