Discard the referendum votes of people above retirement age.

Petition Details

A referendum isn't like an election. It's irreversible. For this reason it affects younger people to a far greater degree. It's unjust to give people who don't have to live with the consequences of their actions power over those that do. The votes of people above retirement age should be discounted.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

It's not clear how this could be done. Voting in the UK is anonymous. It is not therefore possible to work out which votes would be disregarded.
