Make June 23 Independence Day and a national bank holiday

Petition Details

Following the historic referendum result for Britain to vote to leave the EU, we believe that June 23 should be marked in our national calendar as a bank holiday.
The result marked a sea change in British politics and should be marked as such.

Additional Information

Thursday June 23 2016 was the day Britain voted to leave the EU.
America marks July 4 as Independence Day.
Our country should mark June 23 as Independence Day.
It is time to make June 23 a national bank holiday.
