Parliament should repeal the EU referendum if it would lead to the break of UK

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

Following the aftermath of the EU referendum and disparities in the way the nations voted, it is apparent that the results and reactions from different nations could lead to the break of the union. The result was not convincing. So, breaking the union is not worth a price to pay to carry on.
Evidences are:

* Northern Ireland threatening to go because of the border with the Republic of Ireland
* Scotland threating to leave as the prefer to be part of the EU
* London threating to be independent as they also prefer to be part of the EU.
