Hold a ballot of MPs to decide whether the UK leaves the EU.

What the petition asks

We the undersigned call upon HM Government to hold a ballot by MPs on whether the UK leaves the EU. Every part of the country will have a chance to lobby their MP to represent their wishes, but the ultimate decision on the fate of the UK should lie with the elected members of The House of Commons.
