Your local MP is a good place to start, or A.S.H. if you want to get involved with an Interest group.

try influencing your MP, but there is little chance of one MP being able to make a difference, pressure groups are more effective, but even they can struggle as you need a majority of the House of Commons, and the House of Lords to approve a change to the law.

Start a petition, hold meetings and start a focus group.
When the ball is rolling more people will join and eventually the avalanche of public opinion will force the laws to change.

There is the usual method of writing to your MP, but depending on what your MP's party's standing is on it, you may be on an uphill struggle. See if there are any campaign groups who agree with you, multiple voices are better than one.

I believe the legal age is 18 and up to 21 in most states, if it isn't in your state I'd write to your legislator for him/her to submit a bill....
