Consider the demographics of the vote when deciding about the UK's future

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

We, the undersigned, call upon HM government and the House of Commons to seriously consider the demographics of the EU referendum vote in the debates and negotiations about Britain's future with the EU.
Those voters who predominantly voted "Remain" (the younger the age group, the higher the percentage of "Remain" votes*) will have to live the longest with the consequences if Britain leaves the EU.
