EU Referendum leave vote was 37% of the voting population & is no mandate to act

Petition Details

Exiting the EU is such a highly significant event for the UK & the rest of Europe. The 37% of the eligible voting population opting for leave is not a mandate for HM Government to act. All Members of Parliament should vote to determine the future direction of the UK in the EU

Additional Information

Any referendum vote is only advisory to Parliament.
72.2% voting turnout, 51.9% who opted for leave, they only represent 37.5% of the voting population.
Leave will significantly affect the young, 75% of 18-24 year olds voted remain.
Leave are going back on significant 'promises' (e.g. monies to NHS).
Significant negative response by the markets and the rest of Europe.
UK exit agreement with Europe will not be good since it would be used as a deterrent to others thinking of leaving the EU.
