The undersigned call upon the government to affirm the decision to leave the EU.
Those who believe in democracy should be humble and wise enough to accept the path chosen by the people, for who are they that would put themselves above the very will of the people? Some have disagreed with the decision to leave the EU and are now belly aching by petitioning to reverse this.
I am reminded of the well known words from poet John Lydgate, later adapted by President Lincoln – and appearing in various permutations: “You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time”. The fact that you, as an individual, may not agree with leaving the EU, is not really pertinent nor is it of any importance in the greater scheme of things that now lay ahead of GB.
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.
