Rejected petition All UK 16 and 17 year olds to vote to in a referendum to shape their future.

Much of our votes in this country are from the older generation which is civil right and a wonderful way to speak our minds. So why are we not allowing our future generation the ability to vote on a future that will affect them. Why are their votes any less important? Let them have their say!
