Allow votes for 16's
Sixteen is an age when you can do many things. You can leave school, you can consent to sex, you can apply for a job and pay income tax. Yet the govenment feel that we do not deserve the right to vote.
We want this right. We're just as informed as adults are, if not more so. With the current compulsory citizenship studies most 16 year olds take in schools they will be equipped with just as wide a breadth of knowledge concerning politics as most adults. Why not put this knowledge to good use?
Sign this petition today and tell the government that we deserve a voice
