Whilst a 16 year-old can be fully-employed and contribute to society in taxes, they can simultaneously have no say on the government. As a 17 year-old I am frustrated I cannot vote, so I am appealing that the age limits are lowered. Not only will it restore rights of equality, it will encourage teenagers to take a keener approach to the way our country is run, instead of feeling entirely dissociated.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":1,"created_at":"2011-08-23T17:18:30.000Z","updated_at":"2020-02-16T19:27:06.942Z","rejected_at":"2017-06-21T12:35:00.607Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2011-08-23T17:18:30.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":null},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
