Petition · past parliament

Request a referendum to answer :" Should UK leave the EU Single Market?"

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

People voted for Brexit but not necessarily for leaving the EU Single Market. The question needs to be asked to the UK people and not forced upon them by a non elected Prime Minister.

Why it was rejected

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

Hold a referendum asking if we want to leave the single market.
