Don’t allow a hasty poll to negate the UK’s democratically expressed opinion.

What the petition asks

At the last General Election 3 out of 4 MPs who were democratically elected by the UK were known to want the UK to remain in the EU. The hasty EU referendum campaign was dominated by immigration and was also dishonest. Had 1 person in 50 who voted leave voted remain the result would have been a tie.

We therefore assert that it is both undemocratic and irresponsible for parliament to advise the UK to leave the EU now, especially with no known execution plans.
