Rejected petition Britain must remain in the single market and citizens must keep their EU rights
The EU has given citizens rights such as the right to live and work in the EU, employment rights and additional human rights which should be protected. Business needs access to the single market as 45% of Britain's trade is with the EU even if Britain has to submit to some EU rules in return.
