Rule out a "people's vote" as a back door to a second referendum

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Anti brexit groups wish to coerce voters into replaying the 2016 vote, leading to a divisive campaign and alienating much of the electorate.

Government must make it absolutely clear that there will be no rerun of the referendum in any form.
"People's Vote" Launch event in Camden, London, 16 April 2018.

Why it was rejected

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

We understand that you're opposed to the idea of a second referendum on the UK's membership of the EU, but we're not sure exactly what you mean by "rule out a "people's vote" as a back door to a second referendum".

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
