What the petition asks
Londoners comprise almost one in seven Brits. We voted overwhelmingly to retain our EU citizenship only to have it taken from us by Little Englanders. We want it back. We the undersigned demand the opportunity to secede from the UK so that we as a city might rejoin the European Union.
