Rejected petition: Give people who were too young to vote in 2016 a say on rejoining the EU
Rejected on
We call on the Government to commit to holding a referendum on rejoining the European Union, giving us who were too young to vote in the 2016 Brexit referendum the opportunity to have our say.
Millions of us living with the consequences of Brexit today were denied a voice in the 2016 referendum because we were too young to vote. We are now adults, working, studying, paying taxes and building their futures in a country outside the EU.
We believe it is unfair that an entire generation has had major opportunities removed without ever being consulted. Young people have lost rights to freedom of movement, easier study opportunities, and access to work and cultural exchanges across Europe.
