What the petition asks
We, the undersigned, hereby petition parliament for the EU referendum result to be rejected. The margin of 1.9% is not statistically significant to represent the so-called 'will of the people', and is based on a campaign of misnomer/spurious information put towards the electorate.
Many of the electorate regret voting to Leave the EU: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-eu-referendum-bregret-leave-petition-second-remain-latest-will-we-leave-a7105116.html
