This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition Refuse a second vote on the EU exit as this is undemocratic and divisive.
A second vote on the EU exit would go against the democratic principles of Great Britain and would cause further division throughout the UK on the subject. This should not be allowed to happen. A second vote would be a body blow to the democratic process and reduce UK respectability internationally.
More details
A 4 month campaign and vote has taken place in which the general public where presented with, and had ample opportunity to research, information on the pros and cons of EU membership. The time allowed to register was extended to include as many people as possible. This should have been sufficient to gather a solid view of the UK's wishes and make any plans for a second vote null and void. By attempting to force a second vote the remain group are not following democratic processes of the U.K.
