Rejected petition Dissolve parliament and hold a general election.

The UK-wide referendum result risks our economy, our unity and our place in the world. The whole political system, including a renewed parliament should have an opportunity to 'endorse' the referendum result before Article 50 is triggered.

More details

Referendums are important consultative processes, but our nation is built on parliamentary democracy. Therefore a new parliament should be put in place to resolve all the political issues stemming from the 23 June vote. This would provide the legitimacy necessary to sign Article 50 (or not).
