London referendum on membership of the U.K.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Following the brexit result of the EU referendum, a London-based referendum should be held for its exit of the U.K. This would allow it to remain a member of the EU as London wished to remain, and the city could show its singular prosperity, being the size of Sweden's economy already.

Why it was rejected

Hold a referendum in London to become an independent city state
