Rejected petition Parliamentary MPs to vote on whether to actually leave the European Union

The EU referendum result was very close and the effect of leaving the EU unknown. Some people may have voted leave based on unsound information. Now that a lot of forecasts have been shown to be correct, it would be very unwise to actually leave the EU.

More details

A large number of leave leaders are reneging on the promises made during the campaign. The result of the referendum should therefore be used in it's advisory role.
