Evoke Article 50.

Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

Due to the 48:52 win to leaving the European Union, this initiation to prompt the beginning of handing powers back to the UK, should be done right away!
Since winning this referendum by more than 1.7 million votes, the remain campaign have been dishonest in the way of democracy. Democracy is the system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives. Which means that this process should be started right away, according to the electorate.
Also the remain campaign have tried to thwart this action, by bypassing this instruction through a petition, which is un-democratic.
