Prime Minister to send the letter ref Article 50 and start to exit the EU

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

We had a referendum and want what we voted for.
David Cameron said he would send on Friday 24th June.
We do not want leaving the EU to be renegotiated to staying in the EU.
We have voted out, and that means out.
We do not want this decision left to after another General Election.


Give us certainty once again. Press the button and send the letter. This has been a painful experience for the whole country. We want an end date put on this and that can only happen when the Prime Minister sends the letter. You have two years to negotiate a deal, and I think our European friends deserve some certainty from us too.
