Recognise democracy & the wishes of a majority & do NOT have a 2nd EU Referendum
We the undersigned ask that the UK Government acknowledge democracy & resist calls for a 2nd EU Referendum.
Prior to the result being announced, 22 people (BBC News website, 26th June 2016) had signed a petition for a 2nd EU Referendum IF a winning margin & voting threshold were not reached. Over 3 days, 3.4 million people have signed the petition, with the result known. Whilst we agree a certain margin & voting threshold is useful in elections it was not applied to the EU Referendum, so the result should be recognised. Otherwise, the whole idea of the democratic will of the people is in jeopardy.
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.
