This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition For 16 & 17 year olds to now be included or have a vote in a 2nd EU referendum.
In light of the result of the referendum on membership of the EU being only a 1.9% split.
Should 16 and 17 year olds be allowed to join the referendum and have the final say in their and all of our future.
More details
Britain has voted 52% to 48% to leave the Europian Union.
Over 1.5 million 16 and 17 year olds are currently denied the vote in the UK. For years they have wanted the opportunity to have their say.
Lets give the 1.5 million 16 &17 year olds their say in the biggest question of a generation and give the UK a more definite answer.
