Lower the voting age to 16

Petition Details

In the EU referendum over 1.5 million people were denied the vote and missed what could be the most significant vote in decades because they were born a matter of months too late. At 17 one can fight and die for our country but has no right to determine our leader. This is wrong and must change.
