Stop Brexit! We, Britain's youth, deserve to have a say in our own futures

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

Brexit should not happen because we, young people who did not get a chance to vote but will be most affected, should have a say in our future. (Sign only if you are under 18).
75% of 18-24 year olds voted to remain in the EU. Under 18s deserve to have a say as many of the people voting out have already completed their free education, bought their houses, and got their jobs. What about us?

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 people under 18 to be able to have their say. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like to happen.
