More details
*"EU Referendum Rules triggering a 2nd EU Referendum" (Petition 131215) gained more than 2,965,548 votes in 3 days (~5% of UK population) showing public outcry
Fixed Term Parliament Act 2011 has provisions for a vote.
Article 50 should only be invoked by a government with majority support.
The referendum was based on lies (see Nigel Farage NHS quotes). Parties are more accountable and as not all parties support leave - a general election would resolve disputes over the undecisive brexit result.
