Decentralization

Strongly agree

Yes, any citizen that pays taxes should be allowed to vote

This answer aligns more closely with the decentralization ideology, as it seeks to include more people in the decision-making process based on their contribution to society (paying taxes). This would be seen as a positive move towards decentralization, as it empowers more citizens to have a say in political decisions.

Agree

Yes

Decentralization ideology focuses on distributing power and decision-making away from a central authority. Lowering the minimum voting age could be seen as a way to include more people in the decision-making process, but it is not a core principle of decentralization. Therefore, the score is slightly positive.

Slightly disagree

No

Decentralization does not inherently oppose keeping the minimum voting age the same, but it does advocate for more inclusive decision-making. Maintaining the status quo may not be seen as a strong move towards decentralization, so the score is slightly negative.

Disagree

No, it should be raised

Raising the minimum voting age would be seen as a move away from decentralization, as it would limit the number of people involved in the decision-making process. Decentralization seeks to include more people in decision-making, so this answer would be viewed negatively.

Strongly disagree

No, and voters should be required to pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics in order to vote

Requiring voters to pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics would be seen as a barrier to participation and a move away from decentralization. Decentralization aims to include more people in decision-making, and this answer would be viewed as limiting participation and concentrating power in the hands of those who pass the test.
