Important:

This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament

Rejected petition Don't invoke article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty in response to the EU referendum

There's no legal requirement to leave EU in response to referendum outcome.The arguments are highly complex & cannot be fully understood by most voters so this should not have been a matter for referendum. The government should take the referendum in its advisory context & take a vote in parliament
