A petition to NOT have a second referendum on leaving the European Union.

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

As the referendum of June 23rd 2016 showed that the majority of UK citizens wished to leave the E.U., we wish the government to Continue with the process of leaving and not be distracted by the needless debate of a second referendum.
The democratic process has been followed, and the vote was to leave the E.U. Some members of the remain side wish to, apparently, move the goal posts, to get a more favourable result. A waste of time and taxpayers money.
