Stand by democracy and refuse a second referendum on the UK's EU membership

What the petition asks

Refuse to consider another vote on whether the UK should remain in the European Union following an online petition demanding a re-vote. We are supposed to be a democracy, not demand another vote because you didn't get the outcome you personally desired. The UK has already spoken.
