Petition · past parliament

Hold a national referendum on the EU leave agreement/deal prior to ratification.

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

We feel that the EU referendum was basically unfair as the conditions for leaving the EU were not clearly understood by the people. Only after a deal is brokered can we fully understand the ramifications.

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.
