Petition · past parliament

Mandatory minimum of 5 years before a repeat referendum can be called.

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

It seems that the referendum results are not taken seriously and at any opportunity they are ignored wasting taxpayers money and dividing the country... The most recent example being the SNP calling for a repeat of the 2014 referendum due to the EU referendum result.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

Do not allow a second referendum on the EU to take place within the next 5 years
