Closed Give Under 21s a vote on the future relationship between the UK and the EU

Closed on

Theresa May describes Brexit as the 'will of the people' but people under 21 didn't get to vote. I propose offering 16/18-21yo the chance to vote on the original referendum, as a sort of top up vote. This would be added to the original figures and may break the deadlock.

Some of the people who voted have now died, but the 16/18-21yo have not had a say and are still alive and they have to go along with a decision which they had no part of. The very core of democracy is that ALL people should have a vote and depriving people of it is tantamount to being a dictatorship. Young people are more politically engaged and will vote, this would not be a waste of time. This may break the Brexit deadlock. #Under21EUVote #ItsOurfuture
