Rejected petition Petition Her Majesity the Queen to invoke Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty

Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty says that the 'Member State' (i.e. the United Kingdom) must tell the European Union of its intention to leave the political union. It does not say how this intention is to be conveyed, therefore I suggest it should be done immediately by our Head of State.
