Declare the UK referendum to close to justify leaving the EU.

The Issue

In the hours following the results from the "Brexit" referendum the disastrous effect leaving will have on the British economy is already visible. This petition is to convince our elected government officials to consider the referendum as a census of public opinion, rather than a binding document. To use it to help shape policy moving forward. Leaving the EU would be a calamity and not one from which we could return. This petition is to implore every MP and government official with children who will live on in the UK after their time in government not to ruin the future of Great Britian based on the results of a Referendum that were so close as to be moot.
