This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

It is clear that you would like a margin of more than 20% for any future referendum result to be valid. We're not sure whether you are also asking for a minimum turnout of 70%.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. If you are concerned about majorities in referendums, you might also like to sign this petition on that topic:
