Give the vote to all 16 and 17 year olds to let them have a say in their future

Petition Details

I trust and believe in my children. I want to be optimistic about their future.
I am encouraged by the positive values held by young people. They will shape the future of this country.
They have a right to have their voice heard. Give all 16 and 17 year olds the vote for elections and referendums

Additional Information

If all sixteen and seventeen year olds had the vote in the UK, the outcome of the EU referendum would have been different.
73% of 18-24 year olds voted to stay in the EU
They feel they have been successively let down by older generations and it is time they take control over their future to make a positive difference for all of us
