I believe that 16 and 17 year olds should be given the vote because they are responsible enough to have a say in who runs the country.

They can have children, get married, join the army, and pay taxes- so why can't they vote? surely the Government think they are mature enough, otherwise they wouldn't have all of those rights.

if you agree with me and think that 16 and 17 year olds should be able to vote then please sign my petition.
