Rejected petition Do not allow a second EU referendum.

EU referendum took place on 23 June 2016. The UK voted for independence from the EU but some people have raised a petition to hold a second vote as they didn't like the answer.

More details

The British public voted to leave the European Union by a majority in a democratic referendum and as a result some of the population have decided this is not right and want another referendum. Due democratic process has been observed and the majority voted, it would be undemocratic to try to alter the result.
