We want to put it to the government that 16+ should be able to vote, so signing the petition and if we gain enough it will be sent to number 10! Our argument is that surely if we are legal to create life then why can we not have a say in our own country?
I keep thinking about the fact that people my age work and pay taxes yet have no say in how this country is run. Seeing so many of you jump on board confirms that I am not the only one frustrated by this double standard. We are keeping the pressure on because our future belongs to us too.

The momentum behind this is incredible and it proves that people my age are ready to take our seat at the table. I keep thinking about how much power we could have if we finally earned the right to decide our own future.

Finally someone said it. If I gotta pay taxes on my paycheck I should get a say in where the money goes.
