Lower the legal voting age to 16 in the UK
In the Scottish refferendum 73% of 16 and 17 year olds turned up to the polling stations and voted on what direction they wanted their country to go. I believe that the "children of the future" are becoming more educated on politics and should be able to vote on their future
