Parliament should have final vote on leaving the EU before article 50 is invoked

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

Parliament is responsible for making laws, deciding taxes and scrutinising the Government. Many people now regret voting to leave the EU. Parliament is the body that should now make the decision whether it is in the best interest of the UK to invoke Article 50 and not Government Ministers.
