What the petition asks

On 1st January 2021 the Brexit process is complete. The outworking of the referendum has been completed, but not only have we left the EU as we voted to do so, we have left other European institutions not because we voted to but in order to appease a vocal minority.
The people of the UK were given a vote on leaving the EU and chose to do so. However they did not vote on leaving the European Single Market or European Free Trade Association. This option has never been offered to the British people but it is hard to think it is not preferable to our new trading relationship for BOTH 48% who voted to remain and sufficient leave voters to be a majority when given the option between this, a bad deal and no deal.
