That is the question. It has been 7 months since Britain ultimately decided to leave the EU. And it is this decision that will change the course of many people’s lives. Still the decision of Theresa May, the current prime minister, triggering article 50, which will initiate the negotiations of are departure, hangs in the air. As we wont officially leave the EU no later than early 2019.

Through all the ‘stay’ or ‘leave’ propaganda and debate, the most important factor has been blatantly ignored. That is the future of the young people that this decision drastically affects.  Additionally those who are affected the most by this change have had no say or choice of whether we stay or go.

I conducted an interview on a group of 16-year-old students, asking them how they felt about Brexit and the affects of the countries decision. “I think that, for something that will change our future as much as Brexit, we should’ve been given a chance”- Rebecca, many of the group felt strongly about how the country is making decisions that don't affect them and leads them to suffer, without a chance for them to have a say. “I feel as though I might not be able to go to university here because the exponential growth of university fees for EU nationals”- Maria, the young minds that could have been made to benefit this economy are slowly dissipating with rising university fees, especially for EU citizens.  Statistics have shown that 26% of the NHS staff area non-British. The British Medical Association advises, “without immigrants many NHS services would struggle to provide effective care”.

As a young person I feel my hopes for the future have been snatched away from me”. Do you think that Younger people she gets a chance to voice the opinion on political issues?  And if they did to leave or not to leave is that the question.
