Rejected petition Nigel farage delivers article 50

Let Nigel farage be the one who delivers the letter to Brussels that officially invokes article 50

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty states that "A Member State which decides to withdraw shall notify the European Council of its intention". This notification will therefore not necessarily come in the form of a letter, and will be given by the UK Government.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
