Should people above retirement age who no longer work have a limited influence on elections, given that seniors now outnumber younger voters?
The voting rights of seniors is a subject that ignites emotions like a spark on a powder keg. On one hand, the older generation has every right to decide, as they built the state and paid taxes for decades. On the other, critics point out that the demographic dominance of seniors distorts balance, as they decide on a future they may not live to see. Controversial proposals are emerging: from reducing the weight of their vote to completely stripping people of retirement age of their voting rights. It sounds like heresy against democracy, yet the debate increasingly circles back to the question of whether the electoral system truly reflects generational balance, or instead blocks changes that would benefit the young. And you – whose side are you on?
