Referendum on whether the UK should stay in the single market post-Brexit.
Rejected
17 signatures
What the petition asks
The Government seems to believe that it has a mandate to negotiate a hard Brexit - taking the UK out of the European single market. UK citizens have narrowly voted to leave the EU but have had no say on what type of Brexit would be best. This crucial decision should be put to a referendum.
