TRUE DEMOCRACY-16 year olds to gain the right to vote
If any religious or ethnic minority was denied the vote everyone would be outraged, even criminals in prison are given the right to vote. However because this minority is an aged based one they are ignored. I believe that we cant call our selves a democracy until everyone has a say, and the only way to do that is to grant 16 and 17 year olds the vote, as most of them have political views, but no real way to express them.
