What the petition asks
For Constitutional change, the EU referendum SHOULD have had a super-majority and a devolution lock
At what point did the advisory referendum become mandatory without them?
We want an answer to these points which are also raised in the attached letter to Michael Gove which never got a response

David Lidington rejected a super-majority because the referendum was only ADVISORY (Confirmed by the Supreme Court and in Briefing Paper on the Bill)
The status of the referendum is further called into question by the facts set out in the attached letter
The government does not have a mandate to do the destructive things it is now doing to the UK
It's reputation, it's currency and it's economy have all been trashed.

Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
