Sixteen-year-olds are voting !!!

If you want to vote, you have to be 18 years. But in Bremen (Germany) is it a lil bit different.
The authorities in the city of Bremen lowered the voting age to try to interest younger people in politics.
They have done that to persuade the teenagers also to participate in the election. schools in bremen have also held lessons in how to fill in a ballot papers. Some of the people are sceptic arguing that the 16-years-old voters have to wait two more years to vote for the election, just like to drive a car.

The BBC's Stephen Evans, in Berlin, ''says studies indicate that 16-year-olds are less likely to take the trouble than older people - and one study also seems to show that their level of ignorance about politics is much greater than 18-year-olds''.

Austria is the only other EU-member nation that allows 16-year-olds to vote.

My Opinion
I think that they should not let the 16 years old children vote for the election. I do not think that the most of the children are very serieus about it. there are some of boy and girls they like the plitical things and have interest in it, but I do not think that a 16 years old boy or girl will vote. If they vote they will listen to their parents to see what they say and then they will vote for someone.
