Give 16 and 17 year-olds a voice on their country.
I believe that those of ages 16 and 17 are both deserving and desiring of a say over the future of their country. Should we find ourselves facing another referendum, it is my view that 16 and 17 year-olds should be given the right to vote on their future.
Irrespective of one's views on the EU, the result of the referendum will clearly affect those under 18 greatly. However, their views on the issue were inconsequential to the outcome of the vote.
