Rejected petition Keep free movement of people to and from the EU
The UK voted to leave to EU, it did not directly vote to stop free movement to and from the EU. It is impossible (without another referendum) to state the government has been given a mandate to stop free movement. Many who voted 'leave' did so due to issues other than free movement.
