If you need to wait 18 years to vote you shouldn't be able to vote once you are 18 years from average life expectancy (as in life expectancy is 80, you can vote until you're 62, not after).
Imagine how much focus would be put on healthcare if that were the case...
Dumb and arbitrary, just how we like it!
If it works one way it should work the other way as well! You're too young to be responsible enough to vote? Then you can be too old to care enough about the future to vote!
Yes, I meant 18 years after birth = 18 years before average age of death, so politicians would need to either reduce 18 to something lower or would have to work to increase life expectancy.
