Veto Brexit through a vote in parliament

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

We request the HM Government to block the UK's exit from the EU through a vote in the parliament. Leaving the EU will be a grave mistake.
The referendum was advisory rather than mandatory. So let’s choose what is right for us as a nation and as a part of the global community. Brexit is an exit to self-destruction, let’s not take this exit.
