Left-Wing Populism

Strongly agree

Yes

Left-wing populism generally supports expanding voting rights and increasing political participation. Lowering the voting age could be seen as a way to engage younger citizens in the political process and ensure their voices are heard. For example, the youth-led Sunrise Movement, which advocates for climate change policies, might support lowering the voting age to involve more young people in the decision-making process.

Agree

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

Left-wing populism supports expanding voting rights, so the idea of allowing any citizen who pays taxes to vote could be appealing. This argument is often used in discussions about granting voting rights to non-citizen residents who pay taxes. However, this answer does not specifically address the issue of lowering the voting age, so the score is not as high as for Answer 1.

Disagree

No

Left-wing populism typically seeks to expand voting rights, so maintaining the current voting age might not be a priority for them. However, some left-wing populists might argue that the current voting age is appropriate, as it ensures that voters have a certain level of maturity and life experience before participating in the political process.

Very strongly disagree

No, it should be raised

Raising the minimum voting age goes against the core principles of left-wing populism, which seeks to expand voting rights and increase political participation. Raising the voting age would be seen as a regressive move that disenfranchises younger citizens.

Very strongly disagree

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

Requiring voters to pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics would be seen as a barrier to voting by left-wing populists. Historically, literacy tests and other similar requirements have been used to disenfranchise minority and low-income voters, which goes against the principles of left-wing populism that seeks to expand voting rights and increase political participation.
