Rejected petition Give 16 and 17 year olds the right to vote in a second EU referendum.

From recent polls regarding the EU referendum and how the generations have all voted: it is clear to see that the younger generation wanted to remain in the European Union. Therefore, I propose this petition to give 16 and 17 year old British Citizens the right to vote for our own future.
