Rejected petition To request a judicial review of the referendum held on 23 June EU referendum

The referendum held on 23 June was initiated by David Cameron in order to heal a rift within the Tory party. It left a decision regarding the welfare and rights of millions of Britons for years to come at the mercy of a volatile political situation/ demagogic campaign.
