Rejected petition Against EU referendum

More details

This petition asks that plans to hold a referendum on EU membership be withdrawn.

Momentous economic decisions should be made by our democratically-elected politicians, not by an ignorant and emotive mob.

The general public should not be expected to consider all of the facts and understand the full implications of leaving the EU.

What is needed is a government with a clear vision and strong leadership.
