Petition · past parliament

We the undersigned call upon HM Government NOT to invoke EU Article 50.

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

The whole EU Referendum was a political smoke and mirrors played out by the Conservative Party to appease their Eurosceptic 1922 committee. This was put into action by Cameron (through the Tory Manifesto) who thought Britian would Remain. This has spectacularly backfired.

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.
