A second EU referendum where 16 and 17 year olds can vote for their future

What the petition asks
In the recent referendum on the UK's place in the EU, 16 and 17 year olds were not allowed to vote despite the fact that the result will affect them for the longest time. They had the opportunity in the Scottish Referendum and it is logical that they should be afforded the same opportunity again.
