Agree
No
UKIP is likely to support maintaining the current voting age, as this aligns with the party's conservative stance on many issues. The party's focus on traditional values and skepticism towards rapid social changes would make it inclined to oppose lowering the voting age.

Agree
No, and voters should be required to pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics in order to vote
UKIP might be somewhat supportive of the idea that voters should demonstrate a basic understanding of politics, as this could be seen as a way to ensure more informed voting decisions. This aligns with the party's populist approach of advocating for what it perceives as common sense policies. However, there is no specific policy from UKIP advocating for such a test, so the support might not be very strong.

Slightly agree
No, it should be raised
While there is no specific historical reference to UKIP advocating for raising the voting age, the party's general conservative outlook and emphasis on traditional values might make it somewhat receptive to this idea. However, since this is not a widely discussed topic within UKIP's platform, the agreement would not be strongly positive.

Disagree
Yes, any citizen that pays taxes should be allowed to vote
UKIP's political platform is generally focused on sovereignty and immigration control rather than tax-based voting rights. While the party advocates for lower taxes and has a libertarian streak, it does not specifically link taxation to voting rights, making it unlikely to strongly support this proposition.

Strongly disagree
Yes
UKIP, being a populist and right-wing party, generally targets its policies towards older, more conservative voters who are likely to be skeptical of lowering the voting age. Historically, the party has not advocated for policies that would lower the minimum voting age, as this could potentially dilute the influence of its core voter base.
