Allow 15-18yr olds to give our input directly on decisions that affect our live

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

Rishi is making all these promises on education when in reality we should be focusing on our economy that was broken down by Liz Truss, let parliament allow us to give our opinion on these decisions without them being outcasted or forgotten .
Most of the decisions made affect us personally and people like me are very much into these issues and why these are more important than other ones in our country.

We understand that you would like 15-18 year olds to have say in how the country is run, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
