Government to work with Parliament and reassess response to EU referendum result

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

9 months after the referendum and the country is still heavily divided. The future of the UK is in serious doubt, with abuse, threats and anger abundant from both sides. The country is not coming together. It is time for the Government to reassess it's response for the good of the country.

This is not a call for a second referendum. I would like to see MPs meet with leave, remain and non voting constituents, and ask each individual about their concerns, frustrations and lack of confidence in the EU. These reasons should be discussed in Parliament and collated in a report sent to the EU. Britain must work with the EU to act on these concerns and reform laws to the benefit of everyone.
We could remain in the EU under the terms of leave voters, which may satisfy a majority of the UK.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. Consulting constituents is the responsibility of individual MPs, not the Government or the House of Commons as a whole. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
