Rejected petition Give Parliament a free vote on the outcome of the EU referendum.

The result of the EU Referendum was too close to justify such a momentous step. Parliament remains sovereign in this issue and has the right to instruct the Prime Minister not to invoke Article 50 of the Treaty of Lisbon.

We, the undersigned request that MPs be given a free vote to decide.

More details

The campaign was fought in narrow, and often misleading, terms. It is hard to claim that the electorate have made a free and informed choice. It is the job of Parliament to decide on complex issues.
