Rejected petition: Hold a binding public referendum on rejoining the European Union
Rejected on
We are asking the UK government to hold a legally-binding public referendum at the earliest opportunity on whether the UK should rejoin the European Union or remain out. Public opinion has drastically changed since 2016, thus the government must do the democratic thing and allow a rejoin vote.
10 years on from the Brexit vote - won on a 51/49 split - the country is evidently much worse off. Economists estimate GDP to be 5-10% lower than if we remained in the EU, losing EU immigration protocols has broken our asylum system - not to mention our country is now an international laughing stock.
Brexit was sold on a promise of a brighter future, and that lie becomes more evident by the day. Public opinion has changed drastically, and the government must allow a democratic process to ensue.
