lower the voting age to 16

Additional Information

The voting age should be lowered to 16. In the UK 1.5 million 16 and 17 year-olds aren't being provided with the opportunity to influence government policies and improve their situations.

Some government policies affect 16/17 year-olds negatively and they don't have a chance to change these policies. This is why they should be given the vote.
