UK-wide Referendum: "The UK should stay in or leave the European Single Market".

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

52% of UK voters want to leave the EU, but nowhere was the explicit choice given to the British people, whether we wanted to stay in the European Single Market or not. Other non-EU countries such as Switzerland, Norway and Iceland are still within the Single Market.
Vote Leave director Dominic Cummings admits: "The Brexit referendum was won by lying to the public."

The 23rd June Referendum was carried out under a shadow of untruths and inaccuracies, such as lies about our NHS set to receive £350 million per week extra funding, and, most damagingly, lies about immigration.

Whether you voted to leave the EU or remain, leaving the European Single Market will be the deciding factor on how the UK can prosper, post-Brexit.
