Allow 16 and 17 year old's to vote in future Referendums.
16 and 17 year old's are currently deprived of the ability to vote, this has proved to be a deciding factor in the recent EU Referendum, as the elder generations made up the majority of the 'Leave' votes, a decision that they will not have to live with near as long as the youth of the country.
16 and 17 year old's should be given the ability to have a say in their future, and not let the country be solely influenced by generations that won't feel the full effect of their decisions
