Hold European Parliamentary elections in the UK if Brexit is delayed.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

If our EU membership is extended by an article 50 extension then British Citizens and EU 27 citizens in the UK need to have representation in the european Parliament through MEPs. The government need to amend the EU withdrawal act accordingly.
Continued representation in the European Parliament is also essential for a longer extension to Article 50 to help facilitate a Confirmation referendum on the government's withdrawal deal vs remaining as we are in the EU.
