Rejected petition A complete and total Government Shutdown and all out, lasting general strike.

Rejected on

Background information - the British public being tired of being ignored and may not accept it much longer. The establishment not only has to honour democracy it has to be seen to to be democratic.
Evidence - Result of June 2016 referendum on leaving the EU.
Reference - The Electoral Commission website states that the majority of voters voted to leave. (51.9%)
