Lowering the General Election Voting Age to 16
The youth of Scotland have voted in the referendum from 16 upwards. Now they are to be disenfranchised for the 2015 Westminster elections. This is a mockery of the franchise. All the youth of the UK should be enfranchised from 16 upwards to re-awaken the political system.
