Have a new EU referendum, lowering its voting age to 16.
Out of Britain's population, the most affected by the EU referendum are the younger generation. A leave vote compromises their ability to find employment in Europe, and eliminating them from such an important political decision is simply undemocratic.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The EU referendum has already taken place. It is therefore no longer possible for the franchise (the groups of people who are entitled to vote) to be changed.
If you would like the UK voting age to be lowered to 16, you might like to sign this petition instead:
