Allow 14+ children to vote in elections

I want the Government and Parliament to allow children over the age of 14 to vote in elections because children have to live with the impacts of what the adults choose. Basically they are choosing the future for everyone. If children could vote they could decide what they want for their future.

Because children now don’t get a say in elections. Children have to live with the long lasting effects of adults actions that they never got a say on, like stopping the wars around the globe or even stopping climate change. This is what children have to deal with the after affect. That’s why we should allow children 14+ to vote.
