The EU referendum was not binding - hold a vote in Parliament over EU membership

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

The EU referendum was not Binding, it was a nationwide opinion poll. A Brexit cannot be allowed to happen without our highest national body agreeing to it. A vote must be held in Parliament to decide and THIS will be final, not the referendum.

Why it was rejected

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