Petition · past parliament

Give the UK a Referendum to stay within the European Union.

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

With negotiations seemingly failing with Brussels, we think it is time that the UK has a second referendum backed by real facts, so that we can be sure once and for all it is the right choice for the country.
The UK was clearly too far divided on Brexit, with only a narrow margin of success for the leave campaigners. We need a second referendum to make sure that this is indeed the right choice and that it is correct the UK enacts article 50 to leave the European Union.
