Reject the EU referendum result: do not invoke Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty

Rejected 19 signatures

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
