Rejected petition No To A Second Referendum On Brexit.

On 26th June 2016 the UK voted to leave the EU by 52% to 48%. To hold a second referendum would break down the very basis of democracy whilst undermining all political decisions for the foreseeable future. It would lead to public resentment and an increase in extremism.

More details

The UK people voted over Brexit, a second referendum must be opposed by all those who care about the future of democracy.
