Allow 16 and 17 year olds to vote in a 2nd EU referendum as it is their future
16/17 year olds have the right to have a say in what is ultimately going to affect their future. We should trust that they have been educated enough to make an informed decision on something that will change their lives.
The vast majority of pupils voted to remain in the eu, through their own school polls that were carried out up and down the country. Why have they been denied a voice when it is their future that is going to be affected? Why should they have to suffer through life based on decisions made by people who won't all be around to deal with the consequences?
