Rejected petition Allow 16 and 17 years old to have their say in the EU referendum

Given the extremely close and effectively inconclusive vote of the EU referendum and that young people will be most affected by the result, we petition Parliament to “augment” the results with an additional vote allowing 16 and 17 year old to have their say.

This would be in the best interests of democracy and this country.
