What the petition asks
The advantages: all EU legislation is nullified in a stroke/skips years of negotiation and bilateral bedevilling details/unequivocally and globally establishes the UK as wholly sovereign/brings clarity regarding UK standing in the world that will conduce to economic and political stability
Whilst the power to Brexit becomes exclusively British over night, the UK continues respecting EU law on a partial and voluntary basis only, while contemporaneously selecting at its leisure, pleasure, or emergency, which EU laws stay, go or, are amended, free of EU fetters. This will alleviate the burden brought by a time limit for processing the 44 year edifice of EU law. The will of the UK electorate can be respected more directly (re:fishing/immigration/contributions/import tariffs)
