Important:

This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament

Rejected petition State that the EU referendum result is not final. MP's must vote to ratify it.

Few press articles say that MP's must vote to repeal the 1972 European Communities Act before invoking article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty to begin the Brexit process. No television programmes have mentioned this although it is of serious public interest. Let's get the government to admit this openly.

The above article provides evidence to prove this. A reference to the 1972 European Communities Act may be obtained from your MP.
