Refuse to activate the withdrawal clause in Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty

Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

Leaving the European Union will breakup the United Kingdom. Scotland, Northern Ireland and Gibraltar voted strongly to remain in the EU. Their people now want independence from the UK, so that they can stay in the EU. The UK's stability is more important than acting on a non-binding referendum.
