Demand a repeat of the EU referendum as 16 -17 year-olds were unable to vote

Petition Details

There are over 1.5 million 16-17 year-olds in the UK who are considered old enough to live independently and make key life decisions, but were unable to vote in the referendum, despite being one of the groups who the vote will effect the most. This is not democratic.
