This petition was submitted during the 2015 to 2017 Parliament
Rejected petition Hold a General Election before any implementation of EU referendum result.
Rejected on
There is a legitimate concern that the EU Referendum result was achieved via the widespread and cynical use of misinformation and falsehoods. Given this, the result should be either confirmed or overturned by a General Election fought primarily on this single issue.
Statements made after the result regarding the NHS funding, immigration and the status of the Single Market have been radically different form statements made during the campaign.
Furthermore, as the post Referendum Government will be significantly different from the Government and leaders elected in the 2015 General Election, a new vote is demanded.
Why was this petition rejected?
