Rejected petition The United Kingdoms Continued Membership of the EU

More details

I believe that the citizens of the UK should have a right to decide on the UK's continued membership of the EU, this is something that the UK government has denied the citizens of the UK, having not had a mandate to join and cede powers away from Westminster in the first place, a significant groundswell of public opinion dictates that this matter must be addressed once and for all.

I would require the Government to hold a referendum on the continued membership of the UK in the EU, with the question a simple yes or no to remaining in the organisation.
