This petition was submitted during the 2015 to 2017 Parliament
Rejected petition An immediate General Election, so that a new parliament can ratify EU referendum
Rejected on
The EU Referendum is non-binding and the will of the people must be obeyed, but 43 years of EU membership cannot be undone by mere 52-48 vote and should be ratified by Parliament.
A General Election must be called to elect a new parliament that will vote to ratify the EU referendum.
Calling on a second referendum is useless, the only way forward is parliament ignoring the will of the people and continuing EU Membership.
This is a request for a General Election to elect a new parliament that will vote to ratify the currently non-binding EU referendum.
