What the petition asks
On the 29th March the UK will officially leave the European Union - This should be celebrated nationally with a bank holiday.
After many decades being controlled through multiple European Union institutions, being unable to control our own trading policy, immigration system, waters and laws. On the 23rd June 2016, the United Kingdom voted to become a self governing country again - This will finally start to happen on March 29th 2019 - And it should therefore be celebrated.
