Do NOT revoke article 50. Out means Out, honour the will of the British people!

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

On Thursday 23 June, 2016, the British people were asked the question & decide the UK should leave the European Union by 51.9% to 48.1%. The referendum turnout was a massive 71.8%, with more than 30 million people voting...With 17,410,74 voting to leave...
It is understood that there is another petition to revoke article 50, that now has over 4 million signatures, Yet there were 16,141,241 who voted remain in the referendum & it was not enough..

Whatever our views now or then, the will of the British people needs to be upheld, or our democracy is a sham...

If article 50 is revoked, I envisage the uproar of the British people would make the Pol Tax riots look like a storm in a teacup...

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

We have received a large number of petitions in support of leaving the EU, which are very similar to petitions that are already open. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one asking for the same thing. You are more likely to get action if you sign and share a single petition.
