What the petition asks
There is no clear proposal to implement Brexit. It is very possible that the actual plan, once set out in sufficient detail for practical implementation, may command less support than the recent referendum. Given its irreversibility, we must confirm that any plan still commands majority support.
The chief minister of Gibraltar made a similar call for a second referendum today and for precisely the same reason: “In the referendum two weeks ago it was either in, with our existing conditions, or out. But nobody knew what out meant,” Fabian Picardo, the chief minister of Gibraltar, told the FT in an interview. He said voters should be given a second chance to decide between remaining part of the EU and accepting a new post-Brexit accord with EU member states.
