Lower the voting age to 16 in British General Elections and national plebiscites

Petition Details

Many are now beginning to question if it is right that an individual pays NI contributions at 16 yet has no say over which politicians get to decide how this money is allocated. Votes at 16 would also help to heal the political divisions which exist between young and elderly citizens.
