Ensure the UK armed forces play no part in the formation of an EU army.

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

As the UK voted to leave the European Union in June 2016 the UK army must be fully sovereign and therefore not be part of an EU or European army. This would be completely against what people voted for.

We are therefore calling on the UK government to ensure UK armed forces are not part of it.
