allow 16 and 17 year olds to vote in a 2nd EU Referendum

Petition Details

16 and 17 year olds are the members of society who will be impacted the most by the older generation's votes, and they don't even have a voice.

Additional Information

75% of 18-24 year olds voted IN
If we lowered that age to 16 there would be a higher percentage
More people voting equals a fairer outcome
A second referendum should be allowed so that the results can be compared
