What the petition asks
In June 2016, the majority of voters chose to leave the European Union. The referendum was agreed by Parliament and MPs pledged to honour the result of the referendum. It is now Parliament's duty to undertake the United Kingdom's withdrawal from European Union when Article 50 reaches its deadline
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.
