Petition · past parliament

Hold a parliamentary vote on whether the United Kingdom should leave the EU

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

Following the UK referendum to leave the European Union, the undersigned believe that the non-binding, advisory nature of the referendum is not sufficient for a decision of this magnitude to be taken. Without the full endorsement of parliament the United Kingdom should not invoke Article 50.
