Have the UK become part of the Republic Of Ireland to avoid a hard Brexit.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

There is an impasse over the British border in Ireland and the backstop arrangements to avoid a hard border. This would be avoided by having the UK become a part of The Republic Of Ireland. No border would be needed. And the UK would benefit economically and politically.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

This would be a decision for the people of the UK and Ireland, not the UK Parliament and Government.

You could start a new petition about something the UK Parliament and Government are responsible for.
