Rejected petition Allow those aged 16 - 18 to vote on whether or not the UK should leave the EU

The recent results of the referendum deciding the future of the UK's membership in the EU was met with mixed opinions by the youth of today. As a 17 year old, I'm aware that many citizens my age have very zealous judgements over the UK's standing point in the EU as it mainly affects our future.

More details

The recent surge in opinions from youths can be evidenced by numerous social media platform entries detailing todays youths hunger to have their voices heard on our membership of the EU.
