Lower the voting age to 16
We are able to get married with consent, work, pay taxes and start a family so why are we not vote at the age of 16. In Scotland 16 years old where allowed to vote in independence referendum.
The 16 years old might have new ideas that probably can make a change in the UK also there can be more people voting.
