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