Rejected petition 16 & 17 year olds to vote should a second EU referendum occur.

Youths are the ones who have to live with the decisions made by those 60+. Elders have decided the future for youths and it is completely and utterly unfair. Many are petitioning to have the referendum repeated and if this were to occur, the vote should be changed to 16+ year olds.

More details

The Scottish referendum allowed 16 & 17 year olds to vote and they had a much better turnout than expected.
