Rejected petition Ages 15-17 to have a vote in the EU referendum

I think it's only fair that youth of Britain should have a say in the EU referendum because it will have a major affect on our future, The ages 15-17 should vote because they are preparing/prepared to enter the world of work and with leaving the EU it will be harder for them to get a job.
