Rejected petition Add an option to maintain current EU membership to upcoming In/Out refurendum

In the upcoming referendum the options are 'Leave' completely or 'Stay' in a redefined version of the EU. I want neither of these options and I am sure I can't be alone. I would like an option to vote to maintain our current membership in and relationship with the EU. Anyone else?

More details

My life has been positively impacted by both time I have spent travelling freely throughout Europe. Also by the influence of my European friends and work colleagues. I do not want my children to grow up in a Britain which does not provide the same opportunities to look beyond our borders and welcome our European friends as they welcome us.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

The question in the referendum will be "Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union or leave the European Union?"

The options will be "remain" or "leave".

It is not therefore clear what action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
