ChatGPT

Strongly agree

Yes

Left-wing ideology generally supports the idea of lowering the minimum voting age, as it believes in greater inclusivity and giving a voice to younger generations. For example, in 2007, Austria became the first European country to lower its voting age to 16, a move supported by left-wing parties. However, not all left-wing individuals may agree on the specific age to which it should be lowered.

Strongly disagree

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

Left-wing ideology generally disagrees with the idea of requiring voters to pass a basic test to demonstrate their understanding of politics, as it may create barriers to voting and limit equal representation. Historically, literacy tests and other voting requirements have been used to disenfranchise marginalized groups, which goes against left-wing values of inclusivity and equality.
