Rejected petition Postpone issuing Article 50 to leave the EU until full facts are understood.

Once the government issues Article 50 to leave the EU it would formally and permanently set the wheels in motion for the UK to leave the EU. This is irreversible and the UK will never again be able to re-join. Until that moment the UK is still a member and the referendum is not legally binding.

More details

The UK deserves the right to make an informed choice on the EU as a basic democratic right.The Brexit campaign told lies which, once victory was theirs, began to distance themselves from their main campaign promises; http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-eu-referendum-36641390 Until the UK fully understands what the reality of Brexit means and any future deals then Article 50 should not be issued. If a deal with EU cannot fulfil Brexit promises then Article 50 should not be issued at all.
