Referendum over terms of Brexit - delay triggering article 50 for one year.

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

The terms of Brexit would be another major constitutional change. Therefore, we should have a second referendum once we know what the Brexit deal is. We should delay triggering article 50 until after the second referendum.
A major constitutional change requires a referendum and we have not voted on the terms of Brexit, which would be a major constitutional change.

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.
