Call on those who voted Remain to respect democracy and the referendum result.
A petition seeks to overturn the result of the lawful and democratic EU referendum. That petition is an affront to democracy. I call upon the official Remain campaign to insist ALL citizens respect the referendum result and work together to achieve the best outcome for the UK as we leave the EU.
A football game would not be re-played if one side won 1-0 in the dying moments. An Olympic race would not be re-run if one sprinter passed the finish line a fraction of a second before another.
Sometimes, one just has to accept that one lost the contest.
We do not live in a true democracy if we do not respect the result of democratic processes.
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.
