Rejected petition Introduce a two thirds majority requirement for any future referenda.

To avoid the recent debacle over Brexit, I call on the government to require a two thirds majority for any future referenda.

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.

We can't accept your petition because we aren't sure what the two thirds majority would apply to. For example, we aren't sure whether it would apply to a majority in Parliament to call a referendum or the outcome of a referendum; and we're not sure whether you would want it to apply to all possible outcomes of a referendum and - if so - what would happen if not outcome received the required majority.

You could start a new petition setting out clearly what you would like to happen.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
