Lower the voting age to 16
If 16 year olds are deemed mature enough to work, be taxed, get married and have children, then they should be deemed mature enough to vote.
Additionally, many 16 year olds study politics, business or citizenship, so may be more informed than some adults.
Let 16 year olds vote on their future.
