Petition · past parliament

Parliament to debate the option of not invoking article 50.

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

With the referendum not being binding, and the significance impact being felt across the country, Parliament should debate ignoring the referendum result. We would like Parliament to debate what is best for Britain in the shadow of this crisis.
With the Brexit supporting politicians backtracking on many of the pledges (e.g. £350m/week to NHS). Many may have voted on the basis of these promises.
