Distributism

Agree

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

This answer aligns somewhat with distributist principles, which advocate for the involvement of all stakeholders in governance and the economy. Since distributism emphasizes the importance of every individual having a stake in their community and economy, allowing those who pay taxes to vote regardless of age could be seen as extending this principle to political participation. However, the focus on tax-paying as a criterion might not fully align with distributist ideals that prioritize community and family contributions over financial ones.

Slightly agree

No

Distributism values the role of the family and community in governance and might see the current voting age as a balance between ensuring voters have a certain level of maturity and understanding of their community and society. There's no strong historical precedent in distributist thought specifically about the voting age, making this a mild agreement.

Slightly disagree

No, it should be raised

Raising the minimum voting age would likely be seen as contrary to the distributist principle of encouraging participation and responsibility in local governance. However, the ideology does not specifically address voting age, so this opposition would not be strong.

Disagree

Yes

Distributism, with its emphasis on subsidiarity and the importance of local governance, might not inherently oppose or support a lower voting age. The ideology's focus is more on the distribution of property and ensuring that political and economic power is not concentrated. However, it might slightly lean against lowering the voting age without evidence that younger voters are prepared to contribute to these goals.

Disagree

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

Distributism's emphasis on widespread participation in both the economy and governance might be at odds with imposing additional barriers to voting, such as a test. Such requirements could be seen as contrary to the distributist goal of empowering individuals and communities, potentially centralizing power among those deemed 'qualified' rather than distributing it broadly.
