Lower the enfranchisement age for the upcoming EU Referendum to 16.
For years now many people below the age of 18 have shown an ever increasing interest in UK and world politics. I think it's important to let as many people as possible be able to vote in what happens to the UK in the upcoming decision as it will ultimately affect these young people in the future.
Many young people do have important, relevant and well educated opinions on the matter and deserve a say and should be able to contribute to the overall result of the referendum.
