Voting age to be reduced to 16

Additional Information

I am petitioning for the government to allow 16 year olds to vote. If the British government trust 16 year olds to vote in Scotland, why don't they trust British 16 year olds to vote. Furthermore, 16 year olds who care enough about politics to register to vote should be trusted that they are mature enough to vote responsibly.
