Rejected petition Hold a new Brexit Referendum at the next General Election
We, the undersigned, respectfully petition our Members of Parliament to run a 2nd Brexit referendum, at the time of the next General Election. In the 2017 General Election, the 2016 Brexit referendum was sacrificed to political ambition, and we feel its mandate has become corrupted.
More details
If we have not formally exited from the EU by the time of the next General Election, many voters will be faced with voting for an MP whose party they don’t like, in order to protect the outcome they voted for in the 2016 referendum.
We wish to use the next General Election to expressly choose the shape of our future in the EU, with a fresh referendum. Separately, at the same time, we wish to choose the party to do this, without sacrificing our political beliefs or Brexit muddying the waters.
