I have an idea. I didn't get to vote in the 1974 Referendum on the EEC
because I was too young.


Ok ...

Can we rerun that as I have to live with the outcome?


No, you can't rerun it now but you could have protested at the time?


That's basically what people are saying about BREXIT:

"16-17 year olds couldn't vote, not fair, we should have a #PeoplesVote"

Exactly ... and apart from you being perfectly happy to stick with
your bogus / non inclusive result, why *shouldn't* 16-17yr olds have
been included in either vote? It's very different between something
likely to affect them for only 4 years or for their lifetimes?

The problem for you is that the opportunity you missed has long since
gone, it hasn't for this current mess as it's still way from being
decided / concluded.

Cheers, T i m

For the same reason we didn't include ten year olds.
