Petition · past parliament

Hold a second referendum in light of "Leave" reneging on the NHS £ 350m pledge.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

I was astounded that Nigel Farage stated that the pledge, written large on their campaign bus, was a "mistake". Hundreds of thousands of people almost certainly voted out on the basis that this money would be spent on the NHS. They need to be allowed to vote again.
The media has also featured many stories of "Leave" voters actually appalled that they won. They only wished to lodge a protest vote. They also need the opportunity to reconsider their position.

Why it was rejected

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

Call for a second EU referendum as the first did not have a clear mandate.
