That vote at 16 thing...

[Lilith7]

Childrens' votes should not be swayed by those who have been brainwashed at school. Voting rights should commence at conception, and be permanently revoked at the moment literacy is demonstrated.
That way the alphabetically early parties should stand a chance by having voters from the cradle to the grave.

Hm...so their Mums could 'help' them vote once conceived then. Intriguing idea.
