The U.K. government rejected a petition signed by more than 4 million people demanding another referendum vote on whether to leave the European Union. The government said the final decision “must be respected,” and that it was clear all along that the vote was “once in a generation.” The petition garnered the most signatures ever on the government website, prompting a response. The U.K. voted 52 percent to 48 percent to leave the European Union last month.
