Rejected petition Hold a second EU Referendum because 16 to18 year olds were not allowed to vote.
There should be a second EU Referendum because 16 to 18 year olds were not allowed to vote.
They voted in the Scottish Referendum
If a 16 year old in Great Britain can join the army, fight fires, get married and pay taxes they should have had a say in their future. They are impacted the most.
More details
We should have wanted as many people as possible to take part in the debate. This is especially true of our young people who more than other generations, are now directly impacted by the outcome of the EU Referendum.
It was their right to have their say and be given a chance to play a part in decisions about their community and their country.
Make sure that your voice is heard. Sign this petition to say there should be a second EU Referendum because 16 to18 year olds were not allowed to vote.
