. Add to that the 1.5 million 16 and 17-year-olds living in the UK who can’t vote, and it’s clear we cannot be complacent about recent gains. A huge chunk of the generation that will be affected most by political decisions made today still don’t have a say on their own future.
Young people today face new and devastating challenges, from mental ill-health and chronic levels of loneliness to environmental degradation and the impending climate catastrophe. The Resolution Foundation recently warned that young people today are on course to pay more and receive less from our education, health and social security systems than any other post-war generation.
"Teenagers are at the forefront of climate protests around the world, leading the demands for better mental health care and the fight against the growing far right." Brexit will affect all of our futures but again, it is young people who will arguably see the greatest impact to their lives. Labour is the only party that is offering a final say within six months of taking office and crucially under Labour, 16 and 17-year-olds will have a vote in this future referendum.
Of course, yes! They would vote for the things we all need desperately now! Today politicians serve the capital not the people! ithinkformyself
