Revoke EU article 50 immediately. Upon collapse of the present government.

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

In the event of the present government choosing to call a general election, and/or looses a vote of no confidence or collapses in any way. EU Article 50 is to be immediately revoked.
If the present government decides to call a general election, and looses a vote of 'no confidence' or collapses in any way. Our parliament may become unstable and/or unable to make effective decisions regarding exiting the European Union. In such circumstances, immediately revoking EU article 50 will allow a breathing space, for an attempt to form a new stable government.

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 aren't sure what you mean by "collapses in any way".

You might like to sign this petition instead, which calls for revoking article 50 to be made the default action in the case of a failure to reach a withdrawal agreement:

Without a Deal make "Revoke Article 50" the default action.
