Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

In the wake of the so-called 'Brexit' vote, elected members of the British Parliament have a moral and legal duty to protect the interests of the United Kingdom and the economic well-being of the world at large. The time for political posturing and power-struggling has passed.
The British constitution requires the repeal of the European Communities Act 1972 in order to begin the country's separation from the European Union
