Petition · past parliament

Refuse to support Britain leaving the EU: oppose invoking Article 50.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

52% of those voting supported Brexit. This is too small a number to justify damaging British interests by leaving. We who sign want Britain to remain in the EU.

Why it was rejected

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

Ask the Government not to invoke article 50 of the Lisbon treaty.
