Petition · past parliament

Hold a 2nd EU referendum on the basis that Vote Leave lied to the British public

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

48.1% of people are being forced out of the EU by a misled campaign. They lied about the NHS, immigration and the economy. They have no plan and 51.9% is not enough of a majority. The EU ref should have also included 16 year olds who pay taxes and die for our country.
Companies are leaving. The pound has fallen. FTSE has lost £120bn. This is all in the first 24 hours. Keep us on the steady path of the EU, hold a second, more honest, more informed referendum to protect our people and prove we are #StrongerInEurope

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

Call for a second EU referendum as the first did not have a clear mandate.
