What the petition asks
It has emerged that many voters for Leave did so in the belief that they would not actually precipitate Brexit. It is apparent that large numbers of these voters are now desperately concerned that they have made a choice which does not reflect their true intentions.
The United Kingdom may be embarking on a course which is not truly in accordance with the wishes of its people and may cause a huge injustice.
In such extraordinary circumstances and in view of the magnitude of the issue, prior to Article 50 being formally invoked, we the undersigned pray that a second Referendum may be held in order that people are permitted, after a period of reflection, to confirm that their will is indeed to Leave or Remain.
