Rejected petition Hold a post-EU Referendum General Election in 2016

An Election prior to invoking Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty would allow each political party an opportunity to set out a clear manifesto of Brexit priorities and how any 'leave dividend' will be spent, or alternatively, offer a chance to disregard the controversial result of the EU Referendum.

More details

Many of the General Public feel that they were not given the full facts before making their Referendum decision. An Election would allow voters to make an informed decision as to the direction the country should take and who should lead it.
