What the petition asks
What the UK signed up to in 1973 and then voted to remain a part of in 1975 has developed into something nobody voted for. The European Union is taking more and more control of our country away from our government. Unelected in Brussels are running the country and we have voted out via a referendum
EU referendum to be immediately respected and Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty must now be immediately triggered without excuse for delay.
