Why it was rejected

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

We can't accept a petition calling for impeachment because this procedure is now considered obsolete. It's therefore not clear what action could be taken.

We're not sure exactly what question you'd like to be asked in a referendum. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

There are already petitions calling separately for the Government to seek an extension to the date the UK leaves to EU, a general election and referenda of various types. You may like to sign one or more of these petitions if they call for things you'd like to happen, for example:

Request an extension to the Brexit deadline

Force a National General Election

We must have a second Referendum on Brexit, allowing for the option to remain.

Brexit - Have a democratic vote on 4 options in order of preference.
