THE GOVERNMENT OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED THAT THEY ARE LOWERING THE VOTING AGE TO 16!! I AM ABSOLUTELY SHAKING BECAUSE WE ACTUALLY DID IT. STAY VIGILANT TO ENSURE THEY FOLLOW THROUGH ON THIS PROMISE!
IN the United Kingdom, the legal voting age is 18 years old. In the United Kingdom, the legal age to start paying income tax is 16 years old; this means that in the United Kingdom, you pay money to a government you legally cannot vote for!
Sign this petition to have the voting age lowered to 16 or the Income Tax age raised to 18, and help make Britain a better democracy.

Should have been changed years ago. Its ridiculous.

Total daylight robbery honestly. If i'm old enough to fund the government then i'm old enough to have a vote.

Its not fair. Im 17 and work 30 hours a week at the cafe but have absolutely zero say on who runs the country.

Exactly. They expect us to be adults when it comes to the pay check but treat us like children when it comes to the ballot box.

Lower the age to 16. Young people these days know way more about what is happening than half the adults I know anyway.

Fix this now. Taxation without representation is exactly why people my age are turning away from politics.
