Debate and vote upon the issue of invoking Article 50 of the EU constitution.

What the petition asks
The decision to leave the EU must be formally voted upon in parliament and the EU referendum of the 23rd June should be see as a purely advisory measure. The narrow Leave majority should be viewed in light of the evidence of unlawfully misleading campaign promises from the Leave campaigners.
Many leave voters feel they have been misled by promises of immigration caps and more money being invested in the NHS. They have not been made aware of EU investments into their own communities.
