What the petition asks
The government have had 2 years to get a deal. Now in the final weeks we still have no deal and an extension to A50. Force the MP’s to do what was voted for by the people that pay their salaries.
Similar to the US shutdown this will force the MP’s to stop bickering and trying to prevent Brexit.
