We call on HM government not to invoke Article 50 but keep the UK in the EU.

What the petition asks

Given the now-obvious destructive economic and social effect leaving the EU would have, we call on HM government to exercise its right - as the democratically elected representatives of the UK's population - not to invoke Article 50 of the Treaty of Lisbon, but to keep the UK in the European Union.
