The holding of the plebiscite is necessary because the turnout in the referendum on 23 June did not exceed 75 percent.
Almost half a million people in the UK by Saturday, June 25, signed a petition to hold a second referendum on the question of the country’s withdrawal from the European Union. In this case, for the consideration of the petition by Parliament, it is sufficient to collect one hundred thousand signatures.
The appeal States that the conduct of a new plebiscite is required due to the fact that the turnout in the vote, held on 23 June did not exceed 75 percent, and for “winning” the decision voted at least 60 percent of the referendum participants.
To participate in the vote registered 46.5 million British. And came to the land of more than 33.5 million people. The turnout was 72.1%, which is the highest rate in the UK since 1997.
