Rejected petition To change the default on the EU referendum voting age to 16.

On June 23rd the UK will decide whether they want to stay or leave the EU in a once in a generation vote. But 16-17 year olds don't have a say, unlike the Scottish referendum. So sign this petition and give the people that have to live with the changes a say in a massive issue for 16-17 year olds.
