This petition was submitted during the 2017–2019 Conservative government
Rejected petition We need a second referendum, and 16+ need the vote.
700,000 gathered in London desperate for a people’s vote and their voices were ignored. 48% of the population voted remain and to leave the EU without giving the people a say on the final deal is completely undemocratic. If democracy cannot chance it’s mind it ceases to be democratic!
More details
16 year olds were given the vote in the Scottish referendum, it increases the legitimacy of the vote as it increases suffrage. It is our future, I was born an EU citizen and that right is being taken away from me without me being aloud to vote, the government, the false promises in the leave campaign and our system of democracy have failed the young people who will be left to fix the society that will be destroyed by leave the EU.
