What the petition asks
The last E.U. referendum is discredited.
Democracy demands a new referendum with clear, explicit choices:-
1. Leave the E.U with no deal if a deal cannot be agreed.
2. Leave with the current deal.
3. Withdraw article 50 and remain in the E.U.

The last referendum was invalidated by malpractice. It was also flawed by not making it clear what Brexit meant. A general election will confuse the E.U. question with unrelated party political issues. It will not give a clear, democratic decision on the E.U.
A general election would afford the opportunity to allow the electorate to provide a clear instruction to Parliament, whatever the outcome of the general election.
