This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition We the undersigned call upon HM Government to NOT hold a second EU Referendum.
The majority has spoken. According to the rules of the referendum, their voices should be heard and their wishes respected.
Leave the EU!
More details
If a second referendum is allowed it is possible that a third or fourth referendum could be requested ad infinitum. Further referendums would be expensive and create more, longer-lasting economic uncertainty (for possibly the same outcome).
The format of this referendum was known long in advance as majority win. People had much time to request a different format before it took place but they did not.
It is doubtful many of those objecting now would have objected had the results been reversed.
