That's a very good point. The liberals seems to be way too pissed about increasing the voting age, though.

The game simulates VOTER groups.
People who cannot vote are not voters.
The higher voting age, the fewer young voters.

The stats seems way unrealistic and why does voting age have any effect on youth membership?

How do you eliminate youth membership?

To reduce desktop clutter. The effect of 18 years voting age is similar to no policy at all.

Why is it cancellable and not implemented by default?

I will give i try anyways.

Your country could be the first ;)

It should be from 15 to 21

there is no country in the world where boys below 14 are treated so serious

never knew that. thanks.

Liberals and Conservatives always sum up to 100% (just like Capitalists and Socialists), so when one grows, the other shrinks just as much.
Kairon Woulfgang 30 Oct, 2014 @ 1:33pm 
wouldn't this also effect Conservative membership too?

A country where children 12 years of age can vote is both slightly terrifing to me and an idea I find extremly hilarious...

However, by default rules, youths are affected by very few issues. I consider making a Youth mod, which includes Voting Age, School Uniforms and some rebalancing overrides.

I also consider a longer delay for Voting Age, so that voters can react before accomplished fact. Typically, a voting age reform requires a constitutional amendment, which takes a lot of time.

Good question.

While Liberals and Conservatives represent political ideals, Youth, Retired etc represent personal interests.

Let's say the voting age is 18. 18-year-olds are part of the Youth group. However, they would gain nothing in person, if the voting age was lowered.

17-year-olds (or anyone just below voting age) can't vote, and are therefore not part of any voter group. 18-year-olds would be upset if the voting age was raised, but due to accomplished fact, they can't vote against it.

Liberals support low voting age, not just for idealism. They also want to increase the portion of votes held by liberals (youths tend to be liberal).

Conservatives also both have the idealistic desire for a high voting age, and a self-interest in decreasing the number of liberal votes.

One can reason that youths want to increase the weight of their own demographic, to push for youth issues such as university grants, against junk food tax, etc.

wouldnt the youth group like having the vote? there for increasing the youth happiness (even if it by a minor amount)
Gikgik  [author] 14 Aug, 2014 @ 5:53pm 
Version 1.01: The voting age gan be set between 12 and 24 years; used to be 15 to 21.
DiogoTheCoder 2 Aug, 2014 @ 3:57am 
Oh OK
Gikgik  [author] 2 Aug, 2014 @ 3:44am 
When you rise the voting age from 18 to 21, fewer young people can vote. Young people tend to be liberal, socialist and environmentalist, so fewer of these ideologies will vote.
DiogoTheCoder 2 Aug, 2014 @ 12:31am 
Why does environmentalist and youth membership decrease
St. Pascallion 1 Aug, 2014 @ 11:29pm 
Me too. Im just looking for more things to be able to implement and make the game more dinamic. This makes it way better.

You're pretty good at coming up with good ideas.
ChimiChingus: HumongusChongus 31 Jul, 2014 @ 12:43am 
I like this idea a lot.
