| Message | There is no magic age, and 17 year old people deserve to vote just as much as 18 year old people. Long live youth rights! |

| Message | We would too, but others might not. It's best to do what can be done and later increase it more. Being a hardliner means change is hard. |

| Random fact: Party candidates for head of state elections are not visible to the public. This means that you cannot see who will run and who will not, which adds another strategic element to the elections. |
