Allow 16 year olds to vote in the second referendum on membership of the EU.
16 and 17 year olds should be entitled to have a voice in their future on the most important matter for the UK: its relationship with Europe.
Evidence shows that 16 & 17 year olds have a very different attitude to finances, careers, health, politics and the environment than the 'baby boomer' generation that has just voted to leave Europe. They should not have their future shackled by an older demographic whose understanding of the world was formed in the post war, pre-globalisation era.
