What the petition asks

On 23rd of June, we, as a country made the decision to leave the European Union. As the entire electorate of the U.K. had the chance to vote, there will always be more than 100,000 people annoyed by the result. We can't keep repeating the question until we get their 'correct' answer.
The remainers were happy with the rules when they thought they were winning, but like a bad pool player when his opponent is about to win, they shout 'double the black' & change the rules. It's asking the same question to the same people, but they want the goalposts moved. The figures given in the petition were conveniently above the figures of the referendum. If it had been a 75% turnout, they'd have said we need 80%. If we need 60% on either side, this will only prolong financial uncertainty.
