Reduce the voting age to 16 in matters affecting long term policy.

Petition Details

In England by 16, providing your earnings are over the threshold, it is expected that Income Tax will be deducted from your salary, it seems very unfair that this is the case yet you are denied the right to vote.

Young people's voices are rarely heard by the UK Government, let's make a change.
