Rejected petition Have a second EU referendum in which young people can decide their own future.

We the undersigned believe that the UK's youth has been vastly underrepresented in a referendum that will have the biggest impact on their future. Young people need to be entrusted with their own fate and so we plead that there is a second EU referendum in which 16 and 17 year olds may vote.
