What the petition asks
All MPs of the UK parliament should, without delay, declare their Article 50 voting intention.
In light of the recent High Court ruling, which adds complexity and uncertainty as to whether Brexit will happen, MPs should openly and immediately declare their position on Article 50.
In light of the recent High Court ruling, which adds complexity and uncertainty as to whether Brexit will happen, MPs should openly and immediately declare their position on Article 50.
The spotlight is now on MPs to ensure that parliament is not used as a tool to block Brexit, defying the will of the British people, expressed on June the 23rd 2016, declaring that British should no longer remain a member of the European Union.
If MPs can openly commit to Brexit, immediately and publicly, uncertainty can be avoided and democracy can be preserved instead of subverted by the will of MPs who voted or support remaining in the European Union.
