That Parliament debates the disparity between EU Membership and British Law.

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

When Britain was signed up for the EEC and subsequently the EU without its express permission, it was done so in contravention of British Law and the Constitution.

In particular, the Britons right to self determination and that the status of the Monarch are never impugned.
The Bill of Rights:1689
"No foreign prince, person, prelate, state, or potentate hath, or ought to have, any jurisdiction, power, superiority, pre-eminence, or authority, ecclesiastical or spiritual, within this realm."

The Treason Felony Act:1848
It is treason felony to "compass, imagine, invent, devise, or intend":
to deprive the Queen of her crown,
to levy war against the Queen, or
to "move or stir" any foreigner to invade the United Kingdom or any other country belonging to the Queen.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We're not sure what you'd like the debate to be about.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
