Give those aged 16-17 the right to vote in the general election on June 8th.

Petition Details

As someone aged 17 I find the argument that those aged 16-17 aren't ingaged in politics to be just an excuse for those in office to not hear our views incase it upsets their majorities. I also find it ridiculous that I in all likelihood will not be able to vote in a general election until I'm 22.
