Petition · past parliament

The Government should offer a second referendum on EU exit.

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

Without details of the final negotiated deal the UK Government can reach with the EU, the referendum of 23rd June can only be taken as a vote against the status quo. An informed choice can only be made once this is known.

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.
