What the petition asks
Given the recent vote for the uk to exit the EU. I would seek a referendum to determine whether an application to rejoin the EU would be the will of the U.K. Population
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
The UK has not yet left the EU. You could start a new petition calling for a referendum on whether the Government should reapply for EU membership as soon as the UK leaves the EU.
If you would simply like a second referendum, you could sign this petition instead:
Call for a second EU referendum as the first did not have a clear mandate.
