This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition England/Wales should separate from the UK to keep the EU relationship intact.
Given the recent results in the EU referendum, with England and Wales choosing by majority vote to leave the European Union it would be morally wrong for those nations to force Scotland and Northern Ireland to leave against the will of those who voted a majority in favour of remaining in EU.

This solution would solve the dilemma that all members of the UK now face as a result of the fractured voting on 23 June 2016.
