Rejected petition Instruct the PM not to sign Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty to leave the EU

No elected party has a mandate from an election to invoke Article 50 and leave the EU. The recent referendum is advisory and not a mandate.

More details

If the UK leaves the EU and agrees a trading deal similar to Norway it will still be bound by EU regulations and therefore have no control over immigration (sited as a reason to leave in the referendum).
If the UK leaves the EU and fails to agree a trading deal like Norway it will be disastrous for UK trade and the economy.
If the British Government invokes Article 50 Scotland may push again for independence and this will result in the break up of the United Kingdom.
