Lower referendum Voting age to 16+ as their future is being affected by the vote
I feel that the vote for this referendum that the voting age should be lowered to 16 years of age as this has a large affect on the future generation of the British population.
Furthermore, the reason for this is that young adults over the age of 16 can do a lot of things. E.G Get Married, have children, move out of their parents houses, smoke and many other things so surely they can make a decision about THEIR future.
I also have some data which correlates with my point about the age of people that voted Leave and those that voted Remain.
