Votes for 16 year olds as a result of the snap election announcement.
Due to Theresa May's recent announcement to propose a general election on June the 8th. I believe this is a crucial time to consider votes for 16 year olds. As we those from the ages 16-17 years old have been cheated of our vote to support our party in the 2020 election we would like the chance now.
A key thing to consider is the factor that this has over ruled a policy put in by the current party in power to promote democracy as well as this current goverment stating it will not call a election early over turning this policy
