What the petition asks
The Government to invoke Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, in the light of the democratic result of the Referendum on 23/6/16 in the UK.
This will prevent any 2nd Referendum in the UK, will prevent Scotland attempting any referendum & prevent Parliament scuppering the Publics democratic vote.
This will prevent any 2nd Referendum in the UK, will prevent Scotland attempting any referendum & prevent Parliament scuppering the Publics democratic vote.
The state of flux we have at present is damaging to the UK economy, is divisive to the UK as a whole and provides uncertainty to all those who voted leave.
Invoking Article 50 will provide certainty, stop any reference to a 2nd referendum, will prevent Scotland from trying to secure a 2nd referendum and will stop the UK Parliament from trying to scupper the will of the people of the UK during the legislative process to leave the EU in both houses.
