Petition · past parliament

London to leave the UK and create a separate country.

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

London is a vast multi cultural city and is very different to the rest of the UK as the recent EU referendum confirmed. The time has come for London to break away and form it's own country and manage its own finances and future as a proud member of the EU.

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.
