Petition Require a minimum turnout of 70% and a majority of 10% in the EU referendum

This would ensure that a minimum of 40% of the UK electorate is in favour of leaving the European Union before any change can happen.
It is the most significant decision that the British public is likely to make this decade; it must demonstrate wide public support

More details

The UK government has tried to ensure that constitutional changes in former Commonwealth countries have only happened after demonstrating majority support by a minimum turnout in an election or referendum and a significant majority in favour of the change. We should apply the same standards to ourselves.
