Rejected petition Hold a general election before article 50 is invoked.

We the undersigned call upon MPs to trigger a general election. The full impact of leaving the EU is only now becoming apparent and a referendum is advisory not binding. The government must have a clear mandate to leave or remain in Europe before irreversible action is taken by invoking Article 50
