Rejected petition For Parliament to immediately instigate article 50 of the Lisbon treaty
Democracy was upheld and the people had their say, now it's time for the government to stop dragging their feet and instigate article 50 and start legal proceedings immediately regardless of who is in office. The prime minister is bound by his duty to serve his country and listen to his people.
More details
On 23/6/16 the UK voted on the European referendum for independence the leave campaign won by a margin of 1.9% or 1,269,501 votes... Now regardless of opinion after the fact. The leave campaign won.
Feelings were hurt and emotions are high but that doesn't stop the fact that the democratic process was upheld and we as the people spoke. It is now time for the government to stand by their word and begin proceedings either formally or informally.
