Govt to acknowledge that a significant number of people do not support Brexit
Rejected

What the petition asks
The govt is making repeated claims that the entire country supports its position on Brexit. Whilst this position is maintained there is no attempt being made to respect or consider the wishes and aspirations of the 16 million who voted to remain in the EU. The govt must act to address this.
