Rejected petition Invoke Article 50 immediately

Delaying the activation of Art. 50 is not in the best interests of Great Britain.
We, the British People voted OUT, responsibility now lies with Parliament to carry out our will and without delay. Suggestions, that the UK may become an associated member is not an option, we didn't vote for it.

More details

Markets do not like unknowns, it would be a far better option to invoke Art.50 immediately and start negotiations now.
Suggestions in the media, that it might take until the next GE or that the UK could become an associate member are being thrown around. The latter isn't even an option - it was not on the ballot paper and should not even be considered. We are a democracy and as such parliament has a responsibility to act as we, the British people, have clearly stated.
