Re-run the EU referendum.

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

On Thursday night the pound at the highest point against the dollar in 2016, today we woke up with the worst contraction in the value of our currency since 1921. Considering what we have seen we believe that before we invoke article 50 we should vote to confirm this is what we still want.
The stock markets are crashing globally and whilst out means out we the British people could potentially step back from the brink of oblivion.

Why it was rejected
