Rejected petition Allow the parliaments of all the UK nations to have a veto over Article 50

Invoking Article 50 of the Lisbon treaty would cause the whole UK to leave the EU, regardless of how each nation voted in the referendum. Therefore, the Scottish Parliament, the Welsh Government, and the Northern Ireland Assembly should all agree before the UK government is allowed to do it.
