Seek to extend the transition period until full review of Russian interference

Closed 1,271 signatures

What the petition asks

In light of what the Russian report has revealed, the Government should seek to extend the transition period and halt negotiations until there has been a full review into the Russian interference in the 2016 Referendum to leave the EU.
Given that the government failed to investigate possible interference in the referendum when there seemed to be evidence of potential interference on electoral and democratic events, it doesn't feel as though they have the country's best interest at heart. We believe the Government has been negligent, and that this has cast doubt over what the Government’s intentions in terms of Brexit, and also Russian involvement in governmental processes.
