Petition · past parliament

I voted to leave the EU, but I made a terrible mistake and I want to vote again

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

The UK's EU referendum 'Leave' campaign was based on so many lies and so much misinformation that the referendum should be re-run to provide 'Leave' voters who now believe that they made a terrible mistake the opportunity to vote again - to vote to 'Remain'.

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.
