Petition Action

Take into consideration the younger people of the UK voting to stay in the EU

Petition Details

In the EU referendum, there was a very large disparity in the age gap as to who voted in or out. Over 70% of younger people voted to remain, whilst most of the leave votes came from 65+. The younger generation will have to bear the brunt of the decision for much longer to come against their will.

Additional Information

In such an important turning point in our future and with such divides between the young and the old, it should be important for the government to consider more what the people that will be around for longest think.
