lower the legal voting age to 16
I would like the Government to consider lowering the legal voting age from 18 to 16.
I would like the Government to do this as the younger generation should have a right to control their future government and to have a say in referendums and elections. As well as this, lowering the age may get the younger generation to take an active involvement role in democracy and politics.
