This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

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

We understand that you would the Government to introduce new rules surrounding referendums, but are not sure what rules you would like introduced.

You could start a new petition calling for all referendums to require a super majority to effect change, if that is something you would like to see happen.
