Hold a Referendum on the Assisted Dying Bill
Rejected

What the petition asks
Social change on this scale should not be decided by Parliament alone.
The bill was only produced through a lottery and will change the fabric of our society.
The silence in the chamber after the vote spoke volumes.
For a new Government not to take a stance on this issue is inadequate.

This petition is not about what I think, However I choose life every time.
