Rejected petition We the undersigned refuse a second EU referendum.

The country has had a fair democratic vote on the EU, and has decided to "Leave" with a clear margin of 1269501 votes.

A second referendum would be damaging to the democracy of Britain. It would also be an unnecessary cost to the British tax payer.

More details

Leave the European Union
51.9% 17,410,742

Remain a member of the European Union
48.1% 16,141,241

The results show a clear win for a Brexit, but we should also consider the costs of a second referendum.

The government has already spent £10 million on leafleting, with the estimated cost of conducting the EU referendum, been put at £142.4 million.
