Rejected petition Activate 'Article 50' for the U.K. to leave the European Union immediately
As all of the United Kingdom know, we voted to Leave the European Union with a 52/48 percentage against remaining in the E.U.
The aim of this purpose is to pursuade the current Prime Minister, David Cameron, to activate Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty to allow our exit from the E.U.
More details
Once triggered, 'Article 50' takes 2 years of negotiations for the UK exit from the E.U.
At the moment, until this is triggered, the UK faces uncertainty and we need a clear path of where the UK will be heading.
This should be triggered before the Conservative Party Conference in October.
EU officials want us to trigger Article 50 as soon as possible, which leave voters agree with (http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/jun/24/europe-plunged-crisis-britain-votes-leave-eu-european-union_)
