Keep the UK in the European Economic Area (EEA).

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

Keeping the UK in the EEA in order to access the Single Market is a vital step in ensuring the economy is protected. It will also ensure that UK citizen's rights to free movement are retained.

It is highly likely that businesses will relocate back to the EU if we do not maintain market access.
