The Covid19 virus is showing how vulnerable we are. Cancel Brexit now.

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

The transitional period of exiting the EU has to be cancelled and Brexit stopped. At the very least under the new circumstances the Covid19 virus has presented, showing how vulnerable and poorly prepared we are, the people need to be asked if they now really want to exit the European Union.
The people of Great Britain deserve better leadership. The approach of this government to Brexit and the Covid19 Virus has been wofully inadequate and at best reckless. We want the Government to stop the transitional period of exiting the EU and to ask the people again in the light of changed circumstances, namely the Covid19 virus.
