This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We can't accept your petition because we're not sure what you would like the UK Government or Parliament to do. The terms of the 2016 Referendum were set out in legislation passed by Parliament prior to its taking place. It's not possible to retrospectively change the legal basis for a referendum that has already happened.
