Change the voting age to 16

Petition Details

The voting age at the moment is 18 however I feel 16 & 17 year olds should get the vote as some are very interested in politics. There are many people over 18 who don't know anything so why not let 16 & 17 years olds vote. The turnout may be higher like proven in the Scottish independence election.
