Stop the Government from enacting Article 50 and fully assess Brexit

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

The Brexit campaign was based upon exaggerated facts and figures from the leave campaigners. This has caused miscommunication with voters. As it stands, the UK faces losing vital contacts with the EU and further breaking historic links with Scotland and Northern-Ireland.

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.
