Rejected petition Call a referendum for London to become it's own province within the UK

Due to major political and cultural disparities that have been highlighted during the EU referendum campaign, there have been demands amongst Londoners for their own devolved government, which would have significant power including some control over economic and immigration related policy.

More details

During the EU referendum, Londoners cared more about significant issues such as the potential effect not the economy and trade, rather than deciding to vote based on immigration, false facts and anti-establishment or anti-political party sentiment. Because of the vastly different priorities and cultural identity between London and the rest of England, we no longer feel that we share a significant enough common identity to remain in England.
