Important:

This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament

Rejected petition Parliament to insist upon its sole right to decide upon triggering Article 50

We the undersigned believe that only Parliament can properly make the decision as to when and whether the UK should trigger Article 50, involving giving notice to the EU of an intention to leave it. This is not a decision that is appropriate for the government alone.
