Rejected petition The UK should retain membership of the EEA when it leaves the EU

The recent referendum on the UK's membership of the EU gave only a mandate for the UK to leave the EU; not what form leaving should take.

We, the undersigned, demand that when the UK finally leaves the EU, it retains membership of the EEA and all respective rights that entails.
