Petition · past parliament

Make London a Sovereign State and enable it to vote to reenter the EU

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

Given the strength of turnout for London in favor of remaining part of the European Union we believe that we should have an independent voice in deciding this for ourselves as an independent entity.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

If the UK votes leave and London votes IN,
London should become Independent.
