Rejected petition There should be a vote in parliament to dismiss the non binding EU referendum
Rejected on
Reducing a complicated issue such as membership to the EU down to a simple in or out question is misleading. We are a parliamentary democracy, not a direct democracy. We vote in governments to act on our behalf. There should be a parliamentary vote on EU membership.
