Rejected petition Stop politicians using the term "The British People".

Since the EU referendum politicians and the media have referred to the result as the "will of the British people". I am a British person and this is not my will or view. To be clear I am not objecting to the referendum result I'm just fed up of politicians assuming I agree with it!

Pretty much every sentence spoken by Theresa May and Boris Johnson.
