Rejected petition England: leave the UK so devolved nations can remain in the EU and single market

PM May has no mandate to force a hard Brexit on the devolved nations and will force further independence referendums after doing so. England can avoid the turmoil of Scotland and Northern Ireland (and possibly Wales) having to reapply for EU membership post-independence by simply leaving the UK.

More details

Scotland and Northern Ireland voted to remain in the EU (62% and 56%); Wales voted to leave but are campaigning against a hard Brexit, towards which our government is taking us.

If Westminster is insistent on following this path, despite evidence of its destructive consequences, it can do so alone.
