Rejected petition THE YOUTH (16-17) SHOULD HAVE HAD THE RIGHT TO VOTE IN THE EU REFERENDUM

I really think the youth should've had the right to vote in the EU referendum. If we had 16-17 year olds voting, then we would have remained in the EU. If we have a 2nd referendum and 16 and 17 year olds vote as well as the rest, then it will make a difference.

More details

21 year olds and under voted remain more than the other age groups. This is why I think it would be good if 16 and 17 year olds voted in the 2nd referendum
