Germany considers allowing kids to vote

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=35455

'A fifth of the population is excluded from elections,' said Klaus Haupt of the Free Democrats party, a leader of the initiative.

"Two hundred years ago nobody could imagine that every male citizen would be able to vote and 100 years ago people couldn't imagine that every woman should vote," he said, according to Reuters. "Now they can't imagine that everybody should vote from birth."

This is just a way to get his name into the news, this is all this party wants: have its name in the news. No matter if they´re talking bs, or if it´s bad news.
