This however is an important decision that will affect all in the UK and I say again, anyone who would be entitled to vote in the 2020 general election should have as a right, a vote in this referendum.

So I hope the Lords succeed but it is a real disgrace that the Conservative party are in fact not the ones leading the battle to give 16/17 year olds a vote here,absolutely disgraceful in my view.

Its not a disgrace. The minimum voting age is 18. If they want that to change then there should be a proper bill put through parliament changing the standard voting age. Attempting to introduce it by the back door by amending a promised action is the disgrace.
