Avoid a second EU referendum in light of the other petition that says we should.

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

We think the Leave voters may have won the referendum by a narrow margin but this is no reason to go back to a second vote. What's done is done and the people of the country have made a decision. We were given an opportunity to show how the public feel, why try to change that decision?
