What the petition asks
Implement operation yellowhammer - the governments default position in case of a no deal
Parliament have twice voted decisively against Prime Minister Theresa May’s terrible deal and also voted decisively against that deal coming back without any significant changes. With this in mind, the undersigned wish the government to implement Operation Yellowhammer, the plan to exit the EU without a deal with the EU via WTO rules. i.e. the default position as set out by government previously.The government has stated many times that plans are already in place or well advanced as the Hansard records show.
This would guarantee our sovereignty, our right to self - determination without any further interference from the EU political organisation.
