This petition was submitted during the 2017–2019 Conservative government
Rejected petition Offer a people’s vote of confidence in the Brexit process as of this time.
While the 2016 referendum stands as a democratic choice, it is not legally binding and the current evolution of awareness regarding the full implications of Brexit means it should now be considered a historical one, and therefore a process needs to be implemented that allows for reconsideration.
More details
Evidence: A referendum indicates current mood; it does not in itself give government the power to trigger article 50.
A process of confidence allows for more voice from the UK and paves the way for a clear permission to the government to exit the EU, legally clarifying the Brexit process as being that of the will of the people. Historically this is looking more and more necessary for this and subsequent governments. A strong vote of no confidence could indicate necessity for another referendum.
