in context of psychology and political science, this argument has largely centered on the question of whether 16- and 17-year-olds possess the "political maturity” of 18-plus-year-olds. Many scholars measure political maturity with varying combinations of characteristics that we would like to see in voters – having high levels of political interest and engagement, high political knowledge, and political attitudes that are somewhat stable and consistent. 
Research with British youth has found that 16 and 17-year-olds have lower political maturity compared to adults (Chan & Clayton, 2006) – they have less political interest, they are less likely to belong to a political party, and they have less factual knowledge about the political system. Yet, other studies with American teens have found 16- and 17-year-olds having similar (and in some cases greater) political efficacy, knowledge, interest, tolerance, and skills than 18-year-olds (Hart & Atkins, 2011) and research on Austrian youth indicates that the quality of 16- and 17-year-olds voting decisions are similar to older voters (Wagner, Johann, & Kritzinger, 2012).
These limited and mixed findings do not necessarily answer the question of whether 16- and 17-year-olds are politically mature enough to vote, but we should take a moment to ask ourselves why teens might have lower political maturity in the first place. Are age differences in political interest and knowledge the result of insufficient developmental capacities, or is it simply that 16- and 17-year-olds have been traditionally excluded from the political system? Some have argued the former (Dawkins & Cornwell, 2003), yet there is no neurobiological evidence to support this claim. If it is the latter, possible differences in political maturity will likely be a result of the current sociopolitical system and the civic experiences available to youth. Indeed, classrooms that allow youth to cast “mock votes” have teens with higher civic knowledge and intentions to vote in the future (Meirick & Wackman, 2004), and research on Austrian youth shows that lowering the voting age to 16 increased youth political interest (Zeglovits & Zandonella, 2013). These findings would suggest that lowering the voting age to 16 may actually increase ‘political maturity’ over-time.

16-17岁的年轻人投票都被认为是不理性的政治噪音，15岁以下的孩子更没法做出判断。因为连基本的政治教育都没有完成，而且对社会的理解也不够深刻。

其实我觉得这个建议挺好的，不过有一个问题就是，未成年人凭什么决定自己的想法？既然你可以决定自己的想法，那算什么未成年人呢？你可以自主，那就不需要未成年的保护，那么所有的教育和法律保障都应该取消，和成年人承担一样的责任

所以事实证明，未成年人没有投票权是一种保障

不过如果把未成年人的投票权交给父母保管，父母可以代替子女投票，那么就合理多了，不过好像人类文明还没有那么进步，你可以多多努力

若非用政治鬥爭這四個字，我真會給你點讚
