Rejected petition Bristol should be allowed to secede from the UK

Bristol did not vote to leave the EU. We should be allowed to secede from the rest of the UK and remain a member of the EU instead, because we want to look outward, not inward. We will accept applications from other areas to join us, and have border controls with areas that voted leave.

More details

The result was 61.7% remain, 38.3% leave.
