Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Us young people are the ones who will feel the harsh backlash of Brexit yet the choice of leaving the EU we never got contribute to. Surely this decision should include us! Sign this petition to stop Brexit! And give us, the next generation, a say in our future.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

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.

You might like to sign and share one or more of these petitions.
