This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition Do an EU Referendum for only 16-17yr olds, and add their votes to the result
16 and 17 year old's views were discarded from such an impacting decision. They are the ones who will suffer/prosper the longest and should have a rightful say in their future! Host a second vote only for the excluded 16-17's and add their views to the result
More details
Young voters were more like to remain than older voters, therefore the result of a leave will be at expense to their views that were disregarded.
Scotland's independce allowed for them to vote, please let them stop the rolling dice
