On my lunch break I went to the nearest shopping centre to vote. I was the only person in the place under the age of 70.

People complain that the government isn't radically overhauling our entire economy and society, this is the reason for that.

What's the minimum age to get into Parliament, and how many candidates are under 35 years old? Born in, let's say, 1987 or after? I'll consider voting again but only if there are more candidates under 35.

There's 33 MPs under 40 according to this with Chloe Swarbrick being the youngest.

It's possible that this election we will get the youngest MP since 1853 with Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke, age 20.
