Rejected petition Let 16 and 17 year olds vote on leaving the EU and add their votes to the total.

Those most affected by Britain leaving the EU, 16 and 17 year olds, weren’t given a voice in the Referendum, which is undemocratic. One of the main arguments for leaving the EU is to 'take back control', yet those with the greatest stake in this debate have had no control over shaping their future.
