Rejected petition Don't invoke Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty
EU Referendum showed a slim majority in favour of leaving the EU. Referenda are advisory not mandatory. Parliament is not obliged to invoke Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty which, once done, irreversibly begins the process of leaving the EU
