Ignore calls to amend rules regarding the EU Referendum 2016.

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

The rules in place regarding what makes the referendum valid were deemed suitable long ago by the relevant authorities. Nobody had any issue with them then and cannot justify changing the rules just because they do not agree with the outcome.
