Call a second referendum for continued U.K. membership of The European Union

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

The referendum in June 2016 resulting in advising the government that the electorate wish to leave the European Union was badly implemented. Subsequent polls suggest people who voted to leave regret their decision and now wish to stay within the EU.

Why it was rejected

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

Call for a second EU referendum as the first did not have a clear mandate.
