Article 50 must NOT be extended!

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The legal default position at the moment is for our country to leave the EU on March 29 2019 with or without a deal.
In 2017, 498 MPs voted to trigger Article 50.
With the Brexit process currently being betrayed by Parliament, there may well be moves to extend Article 50.
This would be a betrayal of the biggest democratic vote in our history.
Article 50 must not be allowed to be extended by our MPs.
The British people will never forgive MPs if Brexit is delayed in any way.
