Repeal the European Union (Withdrawal) (No. 6) Bill aka The Benn-Burt Bill.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Hilary Benn, Alistair Burt and other MPs published the European Union (Withdrawal) (No. 6) Bill. It was designed to avoid (or at least to delay) the UK’s departure from the European Union in the absence of a ratified withdrawal agreement and to prevent no deal under Standing Order No. 24.
This undemocratic act was won by underhand methods. The leave campaign won the referendum in 2016. The ballot paper had only two options, leave or remain (1). Leave means leave! The UK government leaflet said that the government would implement what people voted for (2). The video "7 Reasons Brexit is Great for Business" shows the advantage of no deal. (3.) Repeal this undemocratic legislation!
