What the petition asks
The worst economic and relational crisis since 1945 threatens the UK and Europe. We call upon our representatives to act immediately to regain stability by giving oath, in parliament, that they will vote against invoking Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, thus ensuring that the UK remains in the EU.
Leave campaigners said that:
Financial crisis and uncertainty would not occur
£350M would be put into the NHS each week
Immigration would be greatly reduced
A financial crisis is now upon us and threatens our future. Foremost leave campaigners recently clearly stated that the latter two arguments are also untrue. Cohesiveness within the EU is now fractious. Millions of voters who were swayed by misinformation now regret the way that they voted wish they had voted to remain in the EU.
