This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition Add a question at the GE to validate the mandate for leaving the EU.
The EU referendum was based on uncertainties and misinformation which may have affected the way people voted/abstained. The narrow win is not a clear mandate. The country now has greater clarity on the consequences. A significant number of new voters in this election should have their voice heard.
More details
About 800,000 new voters will be eligible on June 8th 2017 and about 500,000 voters have left the register since June 23rd 2016.
This election has been called because of issues around Brexit, but a General Election has a much wider impact and voters have to weigh up who will best represent them across a range of issues over the next five years.
To serve the national interest it is important to separate Brexit from the balance of policy proposals.
