Rejected petition Outlaw parliament blocking the triggering of article 50.

Over 17 million British people voted to leave the EU, despite lies, suspected fraud and wasted taxpayers money from the remain camp, LEAVE STILL WON. Less than 650 MP's have no right to ignore our will and spit in the face of democracy! Britain is already proving project fear wrong!

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Because Parliament is the only body in the UK which has the power to make laws, and it can also unmake any law, it is not constitutionally possible for Parliament to "outlaw" itself doing something. You could sign this petition instead, which calls for Parliament to invoke Article 50 (i.e. start the process for leaving the EU) immediately:
