Rejected petition Before invoking Article 50 the UK must hold a general election.

Rejected on 12 July 2016

Clear detailed plans for any 'Brexit' or not must be outlined so as the electorate can make an informed choice as to who and what comes next and vote on the basis of an accountable manifesto following the referendum enabling the UK electorate to make actual planned for choices on its future.

This is not designed to circumvent the referendum result but to push for an opportunity for real consideration, proper consultation and planning from political leaders, accountability and structure and to find a positive way forward for our future and that of the generations to come.
