2nd EU Referendum requirement prior to EU Exit

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

As so much is currently unknown about the final terms of an EU exit, we the undersigned call upon HM Government to implement a rule requiring a 2nd referendum by which the people can decide whether they accept the final terms of the EU exit before invoking Article 50 of the Treaty of Lisbon.

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.
