This petition was submitted during the 2015 to 2017 Parliament
Rejected petition Stop Article 50 being invoked.
Rejected on
We the undersigned submit that an Advisory Referendum with such a close result is not an adequate basis for our Elected Representatives to take an irreversible decision which in turn could, amongst other things, lead to the fragmentation of the United Kingdom.
A petition proposing the terms for a binding referendum has the support of approaching 3 million people and that support is still growing.
Why was this petition rejected?
