Allow London to accede to the European Union ("EU")

Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

The UK has voted to leave the EU, while London has voted to remain in the EU. London's prosperity is underpinned by its status as the major gateway city to the EU, therefore withdrawing 8.5 million people against their wishes would be unfair and disproportionately damaging.
