Respect the democratic result of the EU referendum by not holding a second one

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

In the EU referendum 52% of voters decided to Leave the European Union. Another petition calls for a second referendum. We ask that the government reverse any plans for a second referendum and respects the current vote to Leave.
Conservative vote, 2015 general election - 37% - accepted decision
SNP vote, 2016 Scottish Parliament election - 47% - accepted decision
EU referendum, vote for Leave - 52% - currently unaccepted by 3 million signing the 'second referendum' petition

Accept what has been one of the most democratic decisions 'by the British people' in a long time. The Government must not cause there to be a second referendum
