Hold a parliamentary vote on the whether or not the UK leaves the EU

Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

The result of the 23 June 2016 referendum on Britain's EU membership was NOT legally binding; it was advisory.

We the undersigned believe in parliamentary sovereignty. We believe MPs should vote on whether or not we leave the EU - and be responsible and accountable for the outcome of this vote.
