A petition urging the government not to honour the EU referendum result.
Rejected
14 signatures
What the petition asks
There is nothing legally binding about a referendum result and the government can ignore it if they want to. This should be debated in parliament, especially as the consequences of the result of this referendum are so severe.
Why it was rejected
