Rejected petition Northern Ireland to remain in the European Union.

As the majority of citizens in Northern Ireland have voted to remain in the EU referendum. We call upon the HM government to include a special negotiated settlement for Northern Ireland to remain in the European Union, once article 50 of the Lisbon treaty is activated to exit.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The outcome of any negotiations with the EU would not solely be the responsibility of the UK Government. You may wish to start another petition proposing that the UK Government negotiates on the basis of trying to secure a special settlement for Northern Ireland.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
