Rejected petition Disregard the result of the EU referendum

The EU Referendum's result is not legally binding. Many Leave voters retrospectively regret what their decision, and the margin of victory was relatively slim. The Government and Parliament could block a Brexit, and some of the damage might be undone.

More details

Referendums are not particularly democratic, since the margin of victory does not matter; it makes no difference if the result is 51:49 or 85:15. This is not proportional representation.
