Revoke Article 50 before 22:59 on March 29th 2019 to avoid economic/social harm

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Brexit seems to be a total mess and many many members of the UK public are very worried for their futures. To end the potential uncertainty and danger of no deal brexit for our economy, NHS, living standards and general wellbeing the government should revoke Article 50 before 22:59 March 29th 2019.
Given the fact that there are several alternative solutions to the current direction of travel for the Brexit crisis that can avoid economic and social harm, the government should revoke Article 50 before 22:59 on March 29th 2019. These alternative solutions include but are not exclusive to:
A second referendum on the government's brexit deal vs remain in the EU or a full re-think of the governments red lines so that they can start negotiations afresh with a new 2 year article 50 period.
