Petition · past parliament

Stop the the petition for a 2nd referendum.

Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

We the undersigned call upon HM Government to NOT consider the current petition for a second referendum. The voting system is there for a reason and another referendum would be unfair and unjust to those who voted. The public have spoken and the decision to leave the EU has been won.
The vote to leave the EU is final and should not be overturned by an Internet petition.

Why it was rejected

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

DENY the request for a second EU REFERENDUM
