Petition · past parliament

Require a referendum on any proposed deal before Article 50 is triggered.

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

The in/out referendum was held on the basis of a principle only. The details of any proposed deal should be put to the electorate before actual exit obligations are triggered.

Why it was rejected

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

Hold a second referendum on leaving the EU once exit terms have been negotiated.
