Do not allow under 18 year olds to vote in the U.K.
Stop the Government from changing the voting age to 16 years old.
Children of 16 years old are still that, children. This is why they are still in education and protected by our laws as such.
Every Adult knows that at 16 years old most people are not capable of rational decisions and do not have enough experience of life to participate in an election.
This must be stopped.
