Petition · past parliament

Open vote in the House of Commons to serve Article 50 on the EU

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

We elected the Government to make key decisions on our behalf & not to abdicate responsibility by holding a referendum.

This vote in the HoC would allow our elected MPs a last chance to keep the UK in the EU or finally provide a mandate to leave.

Why it was rejected

Let Parliament decide whether or not we remain a member of the European Union
