What the petition asks
The people of the UK have chosen to leave the EU, and that should be acted on without delay. Furthermore, the conditions for leaving, as set out by the PM, should be applied. These are what people voted for after months of debate. MPs should not be allowed to ignor the sovereignty of the people.
