Hold a referendum on whether to accept the terms of the UK exit from the EU

What the petition asks
There has been a vote to leave the European Union but we have no idea what the alternative arrangement will be. Will we retain access to the single market? If so, on what terms? It is very possible that those who voted to leave would change their minds once they know what that actually means.
