Rejected petition Allow youths from the age 16 up have a say in the EU referendum.

I believe, among many others, that younger citizens should be allowed to have a say in what happens to our country. The EU referendum is going to directly impact the younger generation of UK citizens, so, therefore, they should have a right to have a say in the future of our country.
