Rejected petition Do not invoke Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty until withdrawal terms are clear.

It would be wrong to trigger Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty which commits this country to leaving the EU without clarification of the likely terms and conditions of that relationship once the UK leaves. This wasn't clear before the referendum and should be clarified before Article 50 is triggered.
