Ensure that the referendum result for leaving the EU is honoured.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

On 23 June 2016 a referendum was held with the options to either remain in the EU or leave. It was implied by the former PM David Cameron that the result would be honoured and that the result would require a winning vote of 50%+1. Of which the final result was to indeed leave the EU.
It would appear that for the most part most MP’s voted to remain and are therefore doing all they can to scupper the actual result and overturn the hundreds of years of democracy that the United Kingdom of Great Britain has alleged to have relished in. Simply for their own gain. The will of the people was decided on the night of 23 June 2016, therefore as alleged elected officials these ambassadors of democracy that sit in parliament should do what they were elected to do. Obey the people!
