Dismiss 2nd EU Referendum, immediately activate use of article 50 Lisbon treaty

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

We wish for the opposing petition calling for a second Eu referendum to be dismissed.

We would also appeal to David Cameron to notify the European Union immediately of Great Britains intention to withdraw from the European Union using article 50 of the Lisbon treaty.
The votes counted for leave 51.9% of the votes exceeds 50% of the votes. Therefore making the vote results a majority vote for leave.

We therefore urge David Cameron to either activate the use of article 50 with immediate effect, or to resign with immediate effect that allows the new prime minister to activate this.
