Petition · past parliament

Hold a referendum on completed negotiations for the UK's departure from the EU.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Both campaigns before the referendum were poor. Many voters, especially those who voted to leave, later regretted their votes. Given the complexity and unpredictability of negotiations, the people have as much right to approve the final deal as they did to make the decision to leave.

Why it was rejected

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

Hold a second referendum on leaving the EU once exit terms have been negotiated.
