A Gen Election before Article 50, free of first past the post for EU membership.

Closed 61 signatures

What the petition asks

We dispute the EU referendum result; due to numbers against and that the Leave Campaign substantially misled the Electorate.

Both Conservatives and Labour have promised to enforce the vote. This promise blocks at least 48% of the Electorate from revisiting this issue in elections due (cont)
(cont) to the first past the post rule violating almost half of the UK’s democratic rights.

We demand a general election free of the first past the post rule to determine EU membership prior to invoking Article 50, so as to give the maximum number of the British people a voice in their country's future.
