What the petition asks
If you are old enough to work you should have the right to vote in UK. Engaging young people into politics is crucial and letting them have a say on the future.
It worked in Scotland for the referendum and it's time to allow this with young people engaging on political events such as climate change. Lets not isolate however cooperate with all ages.
