Petition · past parliament

Declare the of the results of the EU referendum unsafe and invalid.

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

No planning was submitted to the public on what policies would be adopted if the UK left the union, how the prosperity and security of the UK would be sustained, and what negotiations with current and future European partners would be necessary to achieve objectives.
The invalid nature of the referendum process is witnessed by the political and economic chaos that has followed the Referendum - and by many anecdotal declarations in the media by those voting "leave" that they did not fully understand the issues.
