Petition · past parliament

Invoke Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty now and have Parliament endorse it

Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

There is no reason to delay the invocation of Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty. Delay is causing both uncertainty and problems among the people and investors alike who believe this may be an attempt to renege on the referendum .
12 weeks is a ludicrous time to wait for its invoking and endorsement which should take place immediately as promised by David Cameron when he was Prime Minister.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

Invoke Article 50 of The Lisbon Treaty immediately.
