Rejected petition Use Parliamentary sovereignty for MPs to have the deciding vote on EU referendum

The small margin by which Leave won the EU referendum is a weak mandate on which to enact such a major change. Leaving the EU also threatens the very unity of the United Kingdom with Scotland & Northern Ireland voting to remain. This is one time where MPs should decide for the electorate..
