Petition · past parliament

Independent City State of London as part of the EU.

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

Following the referendum. 60% of Londoners want to stay in the EU. London thus can pay the contribution to the EU as member state and can therefore have access to subsidies, the single market and free movement of goods, services, capital and people.
Many people within the M25 corridor are not happy as they voted in favor of staying in the EU. Yet 52% of country voted out. It would be good for democracy to think again.

Why it was rejected

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

If the UK votes leave and London votes IN,
London should become Independent.
