This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition Only allow Article 50 to be invoked with express approval of Parliament
Invoking Article 50 starts an unstoppable process to Brexit. The sooner it starts, the less time the UK has to negotiate and the weaker its position will be. There is also less time for a rethink, including a new general election or referendum. This buys time to save the UK.
