Rejected petition Consider the views of 16-25 year olds in Britain on remaining in the EU.

The results of the EU referendum do not represent the views of Britain's 16-25 year olds. The Scottish referendum allowed 16 and 17 year olds to vote and they were denied this chance in the EU referendum. The British government should reconsider Brexit and not invoke Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty
