Cancel the summer recess, allowing for a decisive exit from the European Union.

What the petition asks

Looking at the immediate reaction to the result of the EU referendum. I feel strongly, that it would be ill-advised and detrimental to not have continuity in the time frame and dialogue that is essential to be maintained over the next few months, allowing for a smooth transition.
Due to the backlash that has arisen from the decision of the referendum. My opinion, is the way forward, needs to be prepared as swiftly as possible and, matters in relation to leadership are settled in the shortest possible time. Otherwise, I fear that the negative views will develop and manifest into further troubles around the country.
Should the summer Parliamentary recess go ahead, there could easily be an escalation of negative feeling, racism and disruption in the financial markets.
