We call on the Government not to invoke article 50 to leave the EU.

What the petition asks

Parliament is not legally obliged to leave the EU.
The public was misled by the Leave campaign.
The UK Statistics Authority repeatedly criticised the Leave campaign for inaccurately claiming that the UK sends the EU £350 million a week.
Many ‘Leave’ voters are regretting their decision.
