Rejected petition Petition to allow the country to rethink their choice to leave the EU

Rejected on 4 July 2016

I believe that a large number of people did not understand the decision they were involved in in the recent referendum and the implications of a decision to leave the EU.

i believe that a large number of people did not understand the decision they were involved in and the implications of a decision to leave the EU. Subsequently they made a choice based on media representation. The results of the vote in this referendum show such a narrow majority and I think that the public should be given the opportunity to reflect on their choice and consideration should be given to a second referendum.
