Closed Hold a second Brexit referendum in 2 years so that more young voters have a say.

Closed on

Article 50 means that we do not formally leave the EU for at least two years. During this time a large number of 16-17 year olds will become eligible to vote. The government will not lower the voting age, but we should allow eligible youngsters to decide either way on their future.

Parliament should also consider working with the youth parliament and implementing a way of allowing them to have a say on their future.
