Rejected petition Referendum on the UK's membership of the European Union

More details

Give the public a referendum on the continuation of the UK's membership of the European Union:

"Should the UK leave the European Union" - YES or NO

Anyone under the age of 56 has not had a chance to vote on this following the referendum in 1974 which took the UK into 'the Common Market' and the EU is substantially different in form than it was in the 1970s as the Common Market.
