Extend Brexit - require MPs to vote for an extension or leave without a deal

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Parliament needs to vote to extend Brexit!

Whether you were for Brexit or against it, no one expected or wanted to leave without a deal. Parliament has a moral obligation to complete Brexit with a deal in place.

Without one, it puts the residents and businesses in the country in peril.
Immediately have all members vote on whether to extend the deadline or agree to leave with no deal.

The consequence of this vote will determine the future of this country.

A vote more important than the Brexit decision itself!

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. The UK Government can't unilterally extend the transition period, but would need to negotiate with the EU to do so.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do, or you might like to sign and share this petition
