A peoples vote on 1975 United Kingdom European Communities membership referendum

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

We'd like a people's vote on the 1975 United Kingdom European Communities membership referendum, we didn't like the outcome of that one, so we'd like another go please, because of democracy and all that!

Why it was rejected

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

We can't accept your petition because we aren't sure what you would like to happen. There was a referendum on EU membership in 2016. We're not sure how your proposal would be different to that.

You might like to sign this petition for the UK to leave the EU by 12 April 2019 instead:

Leave EU by April 12th 2019 with deal or no deal.
