Agree to run 2nd referendum or general election once terms of EU Exit are known

Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

A ratifying mandate for Brexit could help prevent social & economic breakdown. Voting blind on a simple Leave/Remain whilst both sides fearmongered the facts ignored the real economic realities & consequences that many were unaware of.
The Leave/Remain vote should only have been a first step towards getting the details of an Exit strategy which needs to be put to a secondary vote before signing off on it.
Many have suggested pseudo-democratic workarounds the current Brexit referendum, but more legitimate options emerge from the Scottish Parliament's apparently required "consent" and proposals by Jeremy Hunt MP http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/06/27/after-brexit-we-can-no-longer-ignore-fears-about-immigration/
