Lower the voting age to 16 so more young people have the right to vote.
In light of the recent referendum results, many young teenagers, particularly 16 and 17 year olds, are upset at not being able to give their opinion on whether to remain or leave the EU. Give them the right to vote and the right to contribute to political decisions affecting their own future.
