Open the voting franchise to 16 year olds in the UK in light of the success Scotland had in their independence referendum
After the result of the Scottish referendum where the franchise of voting was open to 16 year olds and was a success. Make the franchise available to 16 year olds in the UK, especially because of the democratic deficit and the renewals that need to take place in order for political participation to increase.
