Petition · past parliament

Parliament should not accept the Referendum result and ensure UK stays in the EU

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Yesterday's EU referendum is not binding on parliament. Whilst representing dissatisfaction with aspects of the EU the leaders of the Leave faction told numerous lies to fool the voters. The leaving process will be disastrous for the UK. MPs should show true leadership by voting to stay in.
