Prevent 2nd EU Referendum as Gov Election also had low turnout not contested

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

EU referendum was fair and everyone had to register for the vote so it should not be contested! The referendum turnout was 71.8%, with more than 30 million people voting. It was the highest turnout in a UK-wide vote since the 1992 general election.
Conservatives in the 2015 general election came to power with only 36.9% of the votes and only a 66.1% UK turnout and this was never contested and this was well below the 75% turnout

Why it was rejected
