To allow 16-17 year olds to vote in all future UK referendums.
The EU referendum showed huge disparity in the opinions of different generations. Remain votes in 18-24 year olds was 74% and in +65's only 40%. With the young most affected by the final poll, we should extend the voting age to 16-17 year olds to enable them to directly influence their own future.
