Allow 16 and 17 year olds to vote in General Elections and Referendums.
Many 16 and 17 year olds feel passionately about politics but do not get the opportunity to voice their opinions; I believe this is unjust. 16 year olds are able to marry, get a full time job and buy a National Lottery ticket. And yet, a democratic voice is not permitted?
