Call a second referendum before implementing article 50 and allow 16+ to vote

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

The Government made a huge error when calling the last in and out referendum by not Empowering the voices of young people who are the future of the UK, therefore we urge the calling of a second referendum that allows sixteen year olds to vote so they can shape their futures.
