Rejected petition Parliament should vote to decide whether or not the UK leaves the EU.

The in/out choice in the referendum encourages a binary response to an action with complex and far reaching consequences. It did not allow for sensible debate and the campaigns from both sides were flawed and, in many cases, shown to be out right lies.

More details

The leave vote comprises of people with legitimate and reasoned arguments for an EU exit - which has been boosted to a slim majority by a proportion of people with blind focus only on immigration and sovereignty. Parliament is our elected legislative body and it alone should hear the arguments and decide.
