Rejected petition Lower the legal voting age in the United Kingdom to 16.

I am a youth member of a political party in the UK. Myself and my friends all follow what is occurring within the political world with a keen eye, however we cannot have any impact on our futures as we are not allowed to vote.

More details

Only those who are actually interested will vote as those that are not, simply have no reason to do so! Come and help me to give more power to the future of this country, let's get more say on what happens to us and the people close to ourselves.
