Rejected petition Leave EU but keep full access the Single Market, accepting Freedom of Movement
We accept, reluctantly, the democratic will of the British people to leave the EU, but we believe the government has a responsibility to secure our economic future by negotiating our continued full access to the single market. We accept and embrace freedom of movement as a condition or our access.
More details
The EU referendum was fought on a platform of economic prosperity and the return of democracy to the UK and sovereignty to the UK parliament. There is no express mandate to revoke freedom of movement at the expense of us not having full access to the single market.
