Don't serve Article 50 notice to leave the EU until UK public vote on settlement

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The UK public voted in favour of leaving the EU on the basis of conjecture rather than fact. Before such a significant change is made the UK public must have the opportunity to vote on the negotiated agreements with the EU. As notice under Article 50 is binding, such notice must not yet be served.

During the referendum campaign voters were presented with various possible outcomes of leaving the EU. These included free trade agreements, border controls (restrictions on free movement) and increased spending on the NHS. Until negotiations with the EU are concluded it is not known which, if any, of these will be delivered. Support for independence from the EU may alter greatly depending upon which of the proposals can be delivered.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

Hold a second referendum on leaving the EU once exit terms have been negotiated.
