ignore the referendum result and remain in the EU
Rejected

What the petition asks
The referendum was held but the people of the U.K. Were clearly uninformed about the facts and the implications. The result was marginal and the implications are huge. The government should ignore the result, and instead use the result to bring the EU to the table and negotiate changes
