Fresh from the Sydney Morning Herald, "Would you vote for a 19-year-old?" I hate to sound like an old man here, but am I crazy for thinking 19 is too young to hold public office in Sydney? I appreciate the younger person's perspective, but I don't know about making decisions that affect the general public before you can even rent a car.

If you feel they're more competent and/or less corrupt than their competition, why not?

More competition for politicians is likely a good thing.

Now... having said that... the 19 year olds will find themselves in interesting times if they actually get elected.

I totally agree. I think about my 19-year-old daughter, and as much as I love her I wouldn't let her make decisions for me, let alone people who weren't related to her.

Yeah a little too young imo. Promising enthusiasm though!
