give young people (age 16 - 17) the vote as its OUR future at stake
given the recent result following the EU referendum, many young people have been outraged by the decision made, given the fact its OUR future that will be affected by the decision, and with the results being so close, WE could have tipped it. Nothing changes if it isn't challenged.
Why shouldn't those 16-17 get the vote? What's the difference in a year? Given that a form of education is compulsory until the age of 16, we are just as educated as adults, lessons such as PSHE and citizenship inform us of the government issues. It is time to change, to allow young people to take part as it directly affects our future. One day it'll be down to us to create this future, surely we should be involved in the foundations. sign to create a better future.
