Give younger children a say in the EU vote - it's their future
Rejected
17 signatures
What the petition asks
If we vote out of the EU, it's their future that's at stake - not ours. Let the children have a say in the matter. It may not change anything, but at least it gives everyone an idea about what the younger generation who'll have to deal with the fallout think.
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
It's not clear how you would like young children to be allowed to have their say. You could start a new petition asking clearly for the specific action you would like to see.
