What the petition asks
Only 37% of the electorate (equivalent to 25% of the population) voted to leave the EU.
Acting on the wishes of a minority in a life-changing decision for our country is a GROSS INJUSTICE to the 75% MAJORITY of the British population who did not vote to leave.
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
