Give 16 year olds the chance to vote in local and general elections.
Despite 16 and 17 year olds in the UK being able to work, drive a vehicle, get married or even join the armed forces they are still deprived of the right to vote. Lowering the voting age would give the youth a fair say in matters such as education or employment and will make the UK more democratic.
