What the petition asks
On 26th June 2016 the UK voted to leave the EU by 52% to 48%. To hold a second referendum would break down the very basis of democracy whilst undermining all political decisions for the foreseeable future. It would lead to public resentment and an increase in extremism.
The UK people voted over Brexit, a second referendum must be opposed by all those who care about the future of democracy.
