What the petition asks
More than a dozen police forces are investigating the Conservatives' 2015 election expenses for 29 winning Conservative MPs, the party majority is just 12.
The investigation ends in 95 days. I ask that the Government is prevented from triggering article 50 until these investigations are complete.

Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
The Prime Minister has already written to European Council President Donald Tusk to notify him of the UK’s intention to leave the EU, so it is not possible for the Government to take this action.
