Rejected petition To pass a motion not to invoke Article 50 following the recent EU referendum

The EU referendum was advisory and not legally binding

The proportion of people voting "LEAVE" only represents 37.3% of the registered electorate

The campaign was based on misleading information and there is emerging evidence that this has misled the electorate and skewed the outcome

More details

The referendum only allowed to vote for “Remain” or “Leave”. This means that those who were unsure, were essentially excluded

In Scotland & Northern Ireland, where powers have been devolved, the resounding outcome was to “Remain”. There is a risk of further destabilisation (for the UK & globally) if one or more of the devolved areas makes a successful bid for independence.

Therefore, we would request that Parliament passes a motion calling on the Prime Minister not to invoke Article 50.
