The opportunity to change our vote from Leave to Remain in the EU Referendum

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

We the undersigned believe that we were mislead by a power struggle within Government for the place of Prime Minister. This clouded the debate and we the people were not provided with a TRUE representation of what leaving the EU would mean. We demand the opportunity to change our vote.
It's clear now looking back on all the propaganda sent out by the Leave campaign that they were scaremongering and we can now see that the £'s value is plummeting and businesses are pulling out of the UK just as the Remain campaign predicted.
It is also clear that promises that were made on the Leave side will not be fulfilled as politicians u-turn.
We want to change our vote to Remain or hold another referendum before it's too late to change this decision that was made on bad information.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

If you would like there to be a second referendum, you could sign this petition:

Call for a second EU referendum as the first did not have a clear mandate.
