A very large number of signatures on this petition will demonstrate that the nation has changed its mind.

Britain is reeling from the economic and political consequences of the Brexit decision.
Many who voted 'leave' were registering a protest vote. They did not expect to win, and had not fully thought through the consequences of doing so. They may now be reconsidering.
64% of 18-24 year olds, who disproportionately support 'remain', did not vote. They may now wish that they had.
The first vote does not have to be final.
