Closed Ban Votes for anyone over the age of 70

Closed on

In the referendum most young people- 17 or below did not have the chance to decide their future, where old pensioners were allowed to vote and decide our future for us! We want more control for young people!

Such as in the referendum, despite a petetion and growing debate for votes for 16 year olds, the number of old people is on the increase, due to the baby boomers getting older! Therefore to restrict the age this way it would help keep down the number of old people voting and put more decision in the younger generations.
