Yes, you can have one or two of them, but if you take 10 million 12 year olds, and 10 million 18 year olds, I rather think the 18 year olds will on average have the better informed opinions.
But hey, if you want to suggest we give out voting licenses on a case by case basis with only the more mature and capable qualifying for them, then I'm all in favour of that! But, since that's harder to do, it would be easier to just exclude all the kids and old people.
Point taken.
