Rejected petition Ban a second EU referendum
Rejected on
The EU referendum was decisive and it's result needs to be respected and actioned. A second referendum would incur further cost to the UK tax payer and create further division and uncertainty within the UK at a time when we need to move forward in unity.
A petition has been created calling for a second EU referendum, if successful it will create further division in the UK and continue to deepen public distrust in both our political and voting system.
