Require a referendum before any decision on the privatisation of public services

Closed 429 signatures

What the petition asks

In recent times the Post Office has been sold to private ownership and it would seem that the NHS is being sold in small increments currently. All of this happens without the confirmation of the UK voting population. A referendum would, at the least, raise a large amount of awareness to the public.
