Rejected petition Allow those above the age of 16 to vote in the June 8th GE if it is to go ahead.

If the House of Commons puts through the call for a General Election, allow those above 16 years of age to vote. If we are not, we have been stripped of any democratic legitimacy as a country. We were to have a General Election in 2020, if this is not to occur we wish for our voices to be heard.
