Trigger an immediate UK General Election before Article 50 is triggered
Rejected

What the petition asks
The referendum was advisory not legally binding.
It was instigated by the Tory party to quell internal party squabbles.
It was used by many purely to further their own political path to Leadership of that Party. I believe we need a General Election immediately BEFORE anyone triggers an EU exit.
