Rejected petition That all 16 and 17 year olds be allowed a referendum on exiting the EU
Rejected on
This referendum had a very high turn out, but a huge minority of UK citizens were excluded. These citizens will be adversely affected by a brexit. I ask that all 16 and 17 year olds in the UK be allowed to have there own referendum and the results be added to the total votes received already.
