Call for a second EU referendum.

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

We, the undersigned, call for a second EU referendum. Many Expats living in Europe and around the world were unable to vote due to postal vote paperwork arriving late or not at all.

This coupled with the increasing pressure from the UK population as a whole should trigger a second referendum.
