Revoke Article 50 and Call a General Election
Rejected
13 signatures
What the petition asks
The principal leave campaigns broke the law with regards to overspending and campaign coordination. The leave vote must then be ruled invalid. Pursuing Brexit would be an insult to democracy. Article 50 must be revoked and a general election must be called so the parties can update their manifestos.
