Invoke the Parliament Act to bypass the Lords and let the Commons deliver Brexit · petition

What the petition asks

A complete TRUE Brexit is democratically mandated by the referendum result AND manifesto commitments of Parties in Government. Further debate frustrates the will of the people. We ask the Commons to plan for and invoke the Parliament Act to send the EU (Withdrawal) Bill for Royal Assent ASAP.

The Parliament Act asserts the supremacy of the House of Commons over the House of Lords. Section 2 allows the EU (Withdrawal) Bill to be presented for Royal Assent by the Commons without being passed by the Lords, once passed by the Commons and rejected by the Lords in two successive sessions, and provided 1 year has elapsed between the 2nd reading of the first session on 11/9/17 and the 3rd reading of the second session in the Commons, which must be after 11/9/18.
