Parliament is sovereign. The Commons must vote on to leave or remain in the EU.

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

We have now had a referendum on leaving the EU. This is a huge decision. We must now have legislation passed for this to happen. Parliament must vote to either leave the EU or to remain in the EU. If they do not wish to follow the people a general election should be held.

Why it was rejected

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

Let Parliament decide whether or not we remain a member of the European Union
