Invoke Article 50 of The Lisbon Treaty Immediately

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

The UK population has voted to leave the EU by 52% to 48%.
Democratic process has been observed, and the democratically elected representatives should listen to the will of the people.
There is no democratic reason to delay invoking Article 50, the people have spoken, and you should listen.
Our duly elected prime minister, David Cameron "threatened" to invoke Article 50 "the morning after" if the people voted to leave the EU.
We want our countries representatives in the house of commons to press Mr Cameron to make good on his "promise" (or carry out his "threat"), in accordance with the will of the people.

Invoke article 50 NOW!
