What the petition asks
Many anti Brexit petitions have been written and supported by at least 10,000 people therefore requiring a Government response. The Government's response has simply been a repeated template churned out with little thought. This undermines the whole process and the point of petitions.
Due to space permitting, here's an extract from the repeated template:
On 23 June 2016 the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union in a referendum provided for by an Act of Parliament.
The Government is committed to implementing the democratic outcome of the referendum.
The Government was clear in the run up to the EU referendum that we would honour the choice made by the people of the UK on 23 June 2016. We will maintain that commitment: the UK will leave the EU.
etc, etc, etc.
