Article 50 not to be triggered until after 2nd EU Referendum including 16+
The 16+ age group were excluded from the EU Referendum, but incl. in the Scottish Referendum. Legally entitled to be parents themselves, and with 75% of their peers voting to stay in the EU, they must have a right to decide their own futures, not have it skewed by the 65+ age group.
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:
