Rejected petition allow 16 and 17 year olds to vote in a 2nd EU Referendum

16 and 17 year olds are the members of society who will be impacted the most by the older generation's votes, and they don't even have a voice.

More details

75% of 18-24 year olds voted IN
If we lowered that age to 16 there would be a higher percentage
More people voting equals a fairer outcome
A second referendum should be allowed so that the results can be compared
