Should Kids Get the Vote?

Here's an interesting thought:

The fact is that the way issues are debated in our national political debates very rarely actually takes the future into account. What’s better, to protect teachers’ jobs or to give kids a good education? What’s better, to avoid a recession today or to avoid inflation tomorrow? We seem to prefer instant to delayed gratification – how, well, childish, ain’t it? This situation exists largely because those who have the biggest stake in the future have no say.

Since I think democracy is wrong in principle I guess this wouldn't make it any wronger and might even improve the system. It's likely, however, that it would simply substitute new absurdities for the current ones
