Allow 16-17 year olds to vote in another EU referendum.

Petition Details

16-17 year olds bitterly resent the fact they were denied the vote in the referendum and must live with the decision for the rest of their lives.

Additional Information

Leaving the EU on the basis of a million votes, when over 1.5 million British citizens were denied the vote, is ludicrously undemocratic. On such a slender margin, consent from the next generation should be sought to confirm the decision's legitimacy. Please repeat the referendum and include me.
