Rejected petition If a second EU referendum was to occur, allow 16 year olds the vote.
Rejected on
If an all people’s vote for Brexit occurs then the young should be able to vote and shape their future. In the Scottish independence referendum, sixteen year olds were able to vote and I think it should be the same for the uk referendum. We deserve a voice.
