Rejected petition Hold a 2nd EU ref. for 16 & 17 yr-olds, combining the results with the original.

Prior to the referendum, a petition held on this very website on the issue was rejected by Government after receiving over 13,000 signatures.

It is unacceptable and repulsive to refuse those who will be most effected by the referendum the right to vote; they indisputably deserve a voice.
