Rejected petition Call a second EU Referendum once the terms of withdrawal have been agreed.

There was much mis-information and supposition during the recent European referendum. By definition, the facts were unknown and therefore the electorate was not in a position to make a fair and informed judgement of the alternatives. This can only be done, once terms of withdrawal have been agreed.

More details

As things stand, by voting to leave or to remain, the electorate have effectively entered into a binding contract without having sight of the terms of that contract. This would not be considered legal, acceptable or binding in any other context. On this basis a second, final referendum, should be called once the terms of separation are known.
