Lower the voting age to 16
We strongly think that the voting age should be lowered down to 16.the youth have very little to even no say in major decisions/government policies that will hugely impact their own future.Despite the fact the have a lot of beneficial thing to say their voices remain unheard or even silenced.
The youth is suffering from decisions they didn't even get a say in.If they are able to vote they would get the opportunity to elect a prime minister that will understand them,fulfil their needs and work towards an improved future for generatios ahead.Futhermore,16 and 17 year old are able to vote in Scottish and Welsh general elections and it's working out well so what are we waiting for.We strongly believe the voting age should be lowered to 16.
