Not to cancel the EU referendum on 23rd June 2016

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

The Planned referendum on 23rd June 2016 should not be considered Or cancelled.
This promise from David Cameron prior to General Election was a reason he was elected and this should not be withdrawn under any circumstances.
Members of he UK have the right to vote on the future of our country.

Another petition has been created following the sad death of Jo Cox to call off the EU referendum.

Although this really sad news for us all, this should not be used to assist a withdrawal of the Referendum due to the outcome looking like an Leave vote.

This country requires this referendum once and for all and the outcome should be accepted by all.

As the majority of Polititions are Pro EU, this petition is to defend against a biased decision.
