Hold a 2nd referendum EU referendum

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

Should the British public be given a chance to change their minds over Brexit. Give us a chance to say 'Ok knowing what we do now I think maybe this isn't what I wanted'.

Even if Brexit is to continue a second referendum could serve as a viable failsafe in case of a bad deal.

Why it was rejected

Have a second referendum on leaving the EU
