Rejected petition Lower The Age For Fiscal Responsibility

More details

If it is acceptable that young people leave school at 16 years of age and can be employed in the workforce of Britain, then it should be acceptable for 16 year olds to have a credit card, personal or business loan like anybody else. They should not be marginalised any longer because we have an ageist society.

Also, we must allow 16 year olds onto the electoral register and to be able to vote - especially all those 1,000,000 on the dole.
