Rejected petition Referenda affecting the Constitution should have a Super Majority in favour.

The 2016 European Referendum was too important to be decided on a simple majority. The 52% to 48% majority was too fine a result on which to decide to come out of the European Union.

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what majority you had in mind. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

There's already a petition about referenda requiring a 5% winning margin for action.
