This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition Call a judicial review into the legality of the Referendum.
We the undersigned call upon the Government to halt all procedures intended to enact the process of withdrawing the British people from the EU and to seek a Judicial Review to determine whether the calling of the Referendum exceeded the limits of Government’s power.
More details
Removing legal rights people enjoy through membership of the EU without their permission, on a mere 2% difference in opinion, is morally and legally suspect. Millions were born into a Britain already a member of the EU and see themselves as citizens of that greater family of Europe. Evidence is growing that the motivation for this referendum was to resolve strife within a British political party not to benefit this nation and so by its very nature, it was a corrupt and misguided enterprise.
