Petition · past parliament

Allow UK citizens to approve Brexit terms by calling a referendum.

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

On the 23rd of June, the British people decided to leave the European Union, however they did not decide how the UK would leave and on what terms, therefore I propose that the British people be allowed to approve or disapprove of Brexit terms before triggering Article 50.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

Hold a second referendum on leaving the EU once exit terms have been negotiated.
