Rejected petition Invoke Article 50 immediately to get the UK out of the EU as soon as possible.

The UK is still a member of the EU and will remain so for at least 2 years after Article 50 is invoked. Why delay?

More details

Now that the people of Britain have voted for Brexit there is no reason to delay the only established mechanism by which the UK can leave the EU: Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty.

Whatever side anyone voted for, there is no point in prolonging the uncertainty.

The team behind the Brexit vote just have made detailed plans to allow the earlier possible withdrawal after the referendum, so there is no excuse for any further delay.
