Rejected petition Do not undermine democracy by holding a second EU membership referendum.

The referendum held on 23/06/2016 resulted in 51.9% of votes being for exit of the EU, whilst 48.1% of votes called for us to remain in the EU.

Many people now do not like the result but may not have voted. To repeat the referendum would undermine democracy, setting a very dangerous precedence.
