Require a 10% difference between votes for a referendum to be successful

Petition Details

I propose a minimum 10 point difference (10%) in support between the options voters are asked to decide between before a referendum vote is implemented. This difference was not present in the narrow (3.8% margin) Brexit vote which continues to have divisive repercussions for all parts of the UK.

Additional Information

To provide for a clear margin of certainty and to give greater validity and authority in any future UK referendums, and to avoid subsequent chaos from a narrow vote margin in matters of national importance.
