Rejected petition Voting age UK - change it to 16.

Young people are very informed about and interested in matters that affect the UK, it's future, and our impact in the wider world. It is important that young people feel involved and respected for their views. They can pay taxes at 16, and it's high time they were given the vote at that age too.
