Allow 16-17 year olds to vote in the upcoming EU referendum
This referendum is one that will impact greatly on the future of the younger generation, so they deserve a voice. Scotland gave younger people a voice in their independence referendum which reflects the ever growing interest of young people in important political issues such as this.
It may be argued that young people do not show an interest in political issues such as this, but many adults also do not show an interest. It is unfair to take the voice of the young people away when they are just as capable in making an informed, mature decision.
