Hold a new EU Referendum to allow 16 and 17 year olds to vote

Petition Details

We call on the Government to hold a second EU referendum in which 16 and 17 year olds can vote. Elections are held every 4 or 5 years. The EU referendum was a one-off event which disenfranchised the very people it will affect the most. They deserve a choice as much, if not more, than anyone over 70.
