Reject calls for a 2nd EU referendum

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

We the undersigned call upon HM Government to not call a second EU referendum. Calling a second EU referendum will further damage the government proving does not listen to the will of this country. The people of the country have voted out and this needs to be respected and honoured
The public has cast their votes and voted for a Brexit. This should be respected. If the EU referendum had resulted in a remain vote coming out as the majority then the leave campaign would not get a 2nd referendum. Whatever the result for the referendum, the goalposts should not be moved because one side has lost.
