Solution to current Brexit conundrum: Let people decide the terms of Brexit

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

The current Brexit deadlock is unprecedented. Another election or change in the prime ministership will not resolve the underlying issue that has beseiged the MPs: the deep rooted disagreement as to the best way to implement the result of the first referrendum and the Brexit terms.
I propose that the current Parliament passes a law:

(i) to enable a second referrendum setting out the Brexit options for people to vote on; and

(ii) that binds the Parliament to implement the result of that second referrendum.

The Brexit options can include inter alia a no deal exit, a customs union and a common market 2.

If required, the law can set out a reasonable extention to the current Brexit date that allows the above measures to be implemented.

Why it was rejected

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

We understand you want there to be a second EU referendum but we're not sure exactly what other options you want to be voted on alongside "no deal exit, a customs union and a common market 2."
