Background

Raise the voting age from 16 back to 18

Additional details

In my opinion (as a young person myself) 16 year olds are not mature enough to make decisions on this country’s future. The lowering of the voting age was clearly a desperate attempt by Labour to try and gain a few cheap votes in the next election and I do not believe that it was properly thought through.
