2nd Referendum Plea

BRITAIN’S parliament is to debate a petition signed by more than 4 million members of the public calling for a second referendum on European Union membership, but will not take a decision on whether to re-run last month’s vote.

The event will take place on September 5 in parliament’s second debating chamber, Westminster Hall.

Since Britain voted by 52 to 48 percent to leave the bloc, many people, including some lawmakers, have called for another referendum. But Theresa May, who will take over from David Cameron as prime minister today, has ruled that out, saying “Brexit means Brexit.”
