Disregard the petition for a repeat EU Referendum.
A petition has been raised for a repeat of the EU Referendum, on the basis that it was too a close result. This asks the government to rule the result void unless it has a 75% electorate turnout and 60% majority. This currently has over 2m signatories at the time of this one being raised to counter.
We move that the UK Government disregard the above petition and uphold the original EU Referendum result, which was executed under the rules in force at the time. Under the proportional democratic process used, the EU Referendum is a valid result, with a majority of the electorate voting for Leaving the EU. This should be abided by and Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty subsequently triggered in due course, as clearly instructed by the UK Electrorate.
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.
