What the petition asks
The results of the EU referendum do not represent the views of Britain's 16-25 year olds. The Scottish referendum allowed 16 and 17 year olds to vote and they were denied this chance in the EU referendum. The British government should reconsider Brexit and not invoke Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
