Rejected petition Lower the voting age to 14/16

The vote simply affects our future not the elders who participate in it, we will have to face the consequences more than them. For example, Brexit may not have to happen and all this panic and stress could have been avoided if us youths were allowed to vote. We should choose how to live our lives.
