Democratic Liberalism

Agree

Yes

Democratic liberalism generally supports the expansion of voting rights and political participation. Lowering the minimum voting age could be seen as a way to engage younger citizens in the political process and ensure their voices are heard. However, there is no consensus among democratic liberals on the specific age at which voting rights should be granted, so the level of agreement may vary.

Agree

Yes, any citizen that pays taxes should be allowed to vote

Democratic liberalism supports the idea of expanding voting rights, and tying voting rights to tax-paying status could be seen as a way to ensure that those who contribute to society have a say in its governance. However, this view is not universally held among democratic liberals, as some may argue that voting rights should be based on citizenship and age rather than economic contributions.

Neutral

No

Democratic liberalism does not inherently oppose the current minimum voting age, but it is open to discussions about expanding voting rights. Some democratic liberals may argue that the current voting age is appropriate, while others may advocate for lowering it. The score is neutral because there is no clear stance on this issue within the ideology.

Disagree

No, and voters should be required to pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics in order to vote

Democratic liberalism generally opposes measures that restrict voting rights and create barriers to political participation. Requiring voters to pass a test would likely be seen as an exclusionary measure that could disproportionately affect certain groups, such as those with lower levels of education or limited access to information. While some democratic liberals may argue that an informed electorate is essential for a functioning democracy, the majority would likely oppose measures that could disenfranchise potential voters.

Strongly disagree

No, it should be raised

Democratic liberalism generally opposes measures that restrict voting rights and political participation. Raising the minimum voting age would be seen as a step backward in terms of inclusivity and democratic representation. While there may be some democratic liberals who believe that a higher voting age would lead to a more informed electorate, this view is not widely held within the ideology.
