What the petition asks
16,141,341 voted to remain.
28 per cent of people didn’t vote and young people who are now eligible to vote couldn’t. These slogans are divisive and offensive to those who wish to remain in the EU. If we (also the people) are ignored now, we will ignore parties using these in future elections.
