Oppose the William Healey Campaign for a 2nd Referendum

Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

To oppose the campaign urging the government to change the rules so that only a win of over 60% would be binding.

The results of the historic referendum were announced on Friday morning with 51.9% voting to leave the European Union.

Our campaign is to stop Parliament who may be forced to debate the possibility of a second EU Referendum as over 130,000 people have signed a petition in response to the decision to leave.

People voted to leave in and we say 51.9% is an historic win and no need for a second debate.
