To hold EUParl Elections 2019 to ensure we have time to make the right choices

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Without 1) a Deal 2) all legislation in preparedness 3) Bill of Rights 4) an over-riding majority consensus in Gov nor in public and 5) a clear understanding of implications, we need more time to make right these wrongs. We need EU representation to afford us more time to do that. We are NOT ready.

Mr Tusk's speech given on 21 March 2019 confirming that if UK does not inform EU by 12 April of its intention to hold EU Elections; there is no future for the UK in the EU. Also, Mr Tusk inferred that there is no deadline to the extension.
Mrs May in her speech on the same day was adamant that the UK would not remain in EU and that there was no point in holding EU Elections on that basis.
We are being rushed into a historic & irrevocable decision without due care & comprehensive jurisprudence.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We can't accept your petition because we're not sure what action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take.

We're not sure whether you would like a long extension to the Article 50 process to allow the UK Government and Parliament to decide on Brexit, or you would like an extension to ensure European elections can be held.

If you would like an extension to give the UK more time to decide on Brexit you could sign this petition:

Instruct the Government to seek an extension of Article 50

If you would like European elections to be held, you could sign this petition:

Hold European Parliamentary elections in UK if Brexit is delayed
