16 and 17 year olds should be given the right to vote in the EU referendum
The UK has voted to leave the EU without the vote of the citizens it is going to effect most ,the 16 and 17 year olds. surely we should have the right to vote as we are living with this longer than most older people and it will effect our life's greater.
we would like to have the opportunity to vote and make our age group have a say on if we are to leave or not as I feel that we should have had the right as I am 16 myself and felt I have not had the opportunity to shape my peers and my future.
