Petition that the result of the referendum is upheld and acted upon.

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

People dissatisfied of the result of the referendum wish the result to be overturned. This is Undemocratic and should not be considered by parliament.
I wish to counter the current petition for a second referendum by demanding that the government accept the democratic process of voting to leave the European Union.
Parliament and politicians must remember that they are servants of the people. This is what democracy means and that they must uphold the will of the majority.
