UK Parliament to retract letter sent to EU on 29/03/2017, initiating article 50

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

After Lord Kerr's recent statement that the Government is misleading the electorate by suggesting that now Brexit negotiations have started we are committed to leave the EU on 29 March 2019, we urge Parliament to reconsider their decision to implement Article 50.
'The Guardian' headline "Brexit is reversible even after date is set, says author of article 50" by Matthew Weaver, 10 November 2017
