Stop legal action following "leave" result from EU Referendum

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

The EU referendum results are advisory but not binding. This means the government is not obliged to actually leave the EU. Sign this petition to let the government know you do not want to leave the EU, so they do not take further legal action.

Can the government legally disregard the vote? Yes:
