Letters / Undemocratic diktat
It is a scandal that our fellow EU citizens resident in the UK are denied a vote (Viewpoint: Contempt for EU citizens; SN, 22/06/16).
I think a lot of 16 and 17 year olds will also be indignant at this wholly undemocratic diktat by a government that only had the support of 24 per cent of the registered electors (even less in Scotland).
Hopefully reason and common sense will prevail on Thursday and we will remain in the EU, to change and improve it.
