Rejected petition Parliament must repeal the European Communities Act 1972.

Following Leave's victory in the Referendum, Parliament must now repeal the European Communities Act 1972. This Act subjugated UK law in favour of EU law, and must now be repealed as the starting point of the withdrawal from the European Union.
