Do not hold a 2nd EU Referendum. The 'lefties' must respect democracy.

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

We are a democratic country. The rules of the referendum were that this was a "one time" referendum and this was an "in/out" vote. This was advised by David Cameron and the EU Presidents. The left wing must respect our democratic right to vote.
David Cameron and Jean Claude Juncker said there will be no 2nd referendum. This was explained by the Govt and the EU. This was reiterated throughout the campaign.

Just because the left wing don't like it when something doesn't go their way, doesn't mean they should "reject democracy". They should accept and recognise democracy.
