Rejected petition 16 year olds to be able to vote for things that'll impact them most.

Our group called The Youth's Vote are an extremely passionate group of young people that care deeply for our future. We don't like the fact that our future has been decided without any input from us.

More details

After following the EU referendum we decided we needed a voice. With the Scottish Independence they allowed people as young as 16 to vote, so why couldn't we for something as important as this?
