Petition · past parliament

Parliament must vote not to invoke Article 50 of the 2009 Lisbon Treaty

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

The result of the EU Referendum is advisory only. The Leave Campaign was potentially misleading. The likely consequences, including the possible secession from UK of Scotland, will be irreversible. The result is so close that it ought not to be acted upon.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

Ask the Government not to invoke article 50 of the Lisbon treaty.
