Rejected petition Call a post-EU referendum general election in October 2016

Rejected on 6 July 2016

1.The EU referendum should not have been held in the first place.
2.The only way of overturning this terrible decision is a new party in power who have a cancellation of Brexit in their manifesto.
3.I feel this is the only way to prevent Boris Johnson pushing an even further right wing agenda.

Since the referendum result many "Brexit" facts and figures have been shown to be incorrect.
1. The £350 million that goes to the EU each week "will all be put into the NHS".
2. We will drastically reduce immigration once outside the EU.
3. The economy won't be affected.

All of these have been shown to be incorrect. Something the leave campaigners have only admitted after the referendum had happened.

I do not want people so prepared to manipulate the public in charge of this country!
