Hold a second referendum on precise terms of Brexit before triggering Article 50

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

Leave campaigners have no clear answer on the terms of Brexit. Would we be like Norway, Switzerland or something else? Each has different terms on trade & on free movement, which may disappoint leave voters. We should therefore hold another vote on the precise terms before triggering Article 50.
The leave campaign won the vote on 23 June by a very narrow margin.

The vote also exposed enormous divisions between people of different ages and in different regions. Younger people, particularly worried about their futures, overwhelmingly voted to remain.

There is a lot of concern that those who voted leave did so on a false prospectus, that we could maintain a strong economy and drastically cut immigration.

So let's have another think when we know what the leave option really is.
