To allow 16 and 17 year olds the right to vote in referendums and elections.
In light of the EU referendum, it has come to my attention that it was extremely undemocratic to not allow 16 and 17 year olds the right to vote. Their participation had a significant effect on the outcome and therefore our futures.
