What the petition asks

The Refernedum result was a small majority in favour of leaving Europe. The current Conservative government have hijacked this vote as an opportunity to ignore their elected manifesto and promises to the public and create a new right wing plan that's challenges fundamental rights such as citizenship
A manifesto is produced to help the electorate select a party that best represents their needs and therefore elect a government. It also is a means to hold them to account and make future decisions on their performance.
It's also a protection against extremist agendas
The Tories has thrown away their elected manifesto, and have therefore forefeited their elected mandate. The public should have the right to cast a new vote
A general election is required to agree a new manifesto and mandate.
