All new voters since the 2016 referendum to be consulted
The burden of the EU In / Out referendum result falls disproportionately on the youngest in our society. And in the two and half years since the referendum they've not been given an opportunity to express their views.
Obtaining the views of the current 18-21 year-old demographic will offer insight and provide vital guidance to Parliament as it seeks to find a way forward.
It could also be held quickly because the question needs to be identical to the original referendum question, thereby simplifying the process. The focus should be to encourage the young to take part in the democratic process and ensure that their voices are heard.
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:
We can't accept your petition because we aren't sure what you would like the UK Government or Parliament to do.
We aren't sure whether you would like the Government to consult with young people on membership of the European Union or hold a new referendum in which only 18-21 year olds would be able to vote.
You could start a new petition setting out clearly what you would like to happen.
