Reject ALL current petitions to call a 2nd referendum into force
I the undersigned hereby call Parliament to reject ALL current and future petitions calling for a 2nd referendum regarding the UK's membership of the EU.
This petition WILL be manipulated by foreign nationals to persuade the outcome by signing it when they have no legal remit to do so.
I believe by allowing this petition to successfully be heard in parliament and hence the discussion on whether to hold a 2nd referendum will be tainted as foreign nationals will be able to sign it. I believe under current legislation foreign nationals who are resident within the UK are allowed to sign petitions on the government petitions site as any affairs also affect them. This therefore means that they have a possibility of affecting the outcome of any petition regarding a 2nd referendum.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
