Rejected petition In the event of a second EU referendum 16-17y olds should be entitled to vote.

16-17 year olds will be disproportionately effected by the outcome of the referendum in terms of mobility and employment opportunities. A decision to leave the EU represents an irreversible move and therefore this group deserves the opportunity to voice their opinion.
