To Raise the voting age back to 21 years and older
Its obvious from the outcry from the referendum that younger generations lack the emotional maturity to except a vote which does not go their way. As such the voting age should be increased to a point of life of which they are emotionally mature enough to accept a democratic decision
Democracy has to be protected at all costs. In light of recent events the very heart of democracy is being attacked by younger generations either through demanding that the outcome of a democratic vote is changed. Or blaming/verbally attacking older generations for not voting how they wanted them to. Some have stated due to old people not living as long they should not have a vote. The above shows the lack of emotional maturity needed to cast a vote and accept an outcome in a democratic way
