Propose legislation on 3rd September to prevent prorogation & extend Article 50
Rejected

What the petition asks
A majority of MPs want to prevent a no deal Brexit, but Boris Johnson is trying to shut down Parliament. We must put a stop to this by showing our opposition to prorogation & support for extending article 50. Time is running out - sign now to give MPs a chance to debate & pass these proposals.
