Petition · past parliament

Invoke Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty as soon as possible.

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

In the recent referendum, on the 23rd of June, I like the majority of British citizens voted to leave the European Union. We would appreciate it if the recommendation of the public was accepted and acted upon by our representatives in the House of Parliament without further delay.

Why it was rejected

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

Invoke Article 50 of The Lisbon Treaty immediately.
