Hold another vote a day after Brexit to see whether we want to re-join the EU

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

Although it may be undemocratic to undo the outcome of the 2016 vote who says we can't just vote the day after Brexit (presuming we're all still alive) to re-join the EU? We technically would have left the EU as promised, it just wouldn't be a permanent change.
This may be a stupid idea, but is it really as stupid an idea as Brexit? No. No it's not.

Why it was rejected

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

Hold a referendum: "Should the UK join the EU in January 2020?"
