Prevent a second UK/EU Referendum

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

On Thursday 23 June 2016, the electorate of the United Kingdom voted by majority to leave the European Union.
A second referendum is undemocratic and will require the implementation of retrospective legislation. It is counterintuitive to 'the rule of law in a democratic society' and does not respect the vote of the majority.
