This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition Subject the results of the EU Referendum to a parliamentary debate
On June 23, 2016, the population of the UK voted to LEAVE the European Union.
As the referendum is not binding, but advisory, we ask that the British Parliament discusses and votes the result before invoking Article 50 and leaving the EU.
More details
Article 50 of the European Union triggers the procedure for a country to leave the union. It is irrevocable and binding.
The timetable for leaving, once Article 50 is called upon, is for the process to be completed within a two-year window.
Our Parliamentary Democracy is based on representation by MPs and it should be them, aided by experts of international law and economy, to take the final decision.
