Second EU referendum to Save the United Kingdom.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Persons voting to leave the EU may not have been aware that event this would trigger the break-up of the United Kingdom. If they had known, they may have voted to remain or to abstain. A second EU referendum would at least clarify matters.

Why it was rejected

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

Call for a second EU referendum as the first did not have a clear mandate.
