Elections in Iran

I don't want to discuss about various controversies in Iranian election system. I just want to take your attention to one simple fact: minimum eligible age is 15 years.

Photo by Mahdi Marizad, FARSDo you really think that a 15 year old kid knows anything about politics or would be able to understand the difference between various candidates? It might be interesting to know that minimum required age in order to get a drivers license is 18 in Iran. There you go :) Driving requires more maturity than does politics :P

as I mentioned earlier, I will fix everything once I'm president. until then we must give this child some growth hormones because he does NOT look like a 15 year old. i think he's experiencing delayed puberty or something :S

Since things going like this,Massey , It is very probable in next election you don't have right to cast a vote how do you want to be president?
By the way, presidency is for rejal, first try to describe this term then I would be the first one who join to your political party:D
