Rejected petition Do not formally initiate Brexit without a free vote in both Houses of Parliament

The closeness of the EU Referendum, its advisory nature, and the magnitude of the consequences of Leaving the EU, together make it untenable to proceed with invoking Article 50 without an unwhipped vote of approval from both Houses of Parliament. This petition seeks to generate that vote.
