What the petition asks
I do not believe that the current balance of view displayed by the members of Parliment displays a true reflection of the view of the people. The House is weighted in favour of remain which does not represent the outcome of the in/out referendum. 480 out of 650 mp's it is believed voted remain.
Most members of the House of Commons are believed to have voted Remain in the EU referendum.
According to a survey of all 650 MPs carried out by the Press Association ahead of the referendum on June 23:
:: 480 MPs said they would be voting Remain, including 184 Conservatives
:: 159 MPs said they would be voting Leave, including 139 Conservatives
:: 11 MPs were undeclared, including four Conservatives
This gives Remain a notional Commons majority of at least 310.

Why it was rejected

We have received a large number of petitions about a second referendum on EU membership, which are very similar to petitions that are already open. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one asking for the same thing to happen. You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
