Petition · past parliament

Recall parliament for a national debate about our exit from the EU.

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

The vote to leave the EU has created an unprecedented crisis within the country. Parliament should be recalled to debate the way ahead in the next few weeks and months.
The pound and the FTSE 100 index have both dropped several percentage points in a few hours. Urgent action is needed.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Parliament is currently sitting, so it's not clear what action you want to see in addition to this. If you want Parliament to debate the referendum result, you can sign this petition:

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