We the undersigned call upon HM Government to hold a Commons vote on 'Brexit'

Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

As David Lammy MP has pointed out, the referendum was 'an advisory, non-binding referendum'. The impact of this referendum has already significantly damaged our economy, may threaten the future of the Union, and has alienated millions. The option of a Commons vote must be considered.
The solidity of the base of information on which voters have made their decision has been called into question, in particular the claim of £350 million per week becoming available to the NHS post-exit, with Nigel Farage now acknowledging this widely promoted statistic was a 'mistake'. A petition calling for a second referendum has received more than two million signatories. It is imperative that we explore all avenues to halt the potentially catastrophic outcome of the U.K. leaving the E.U.
