This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament
Rejected petition Respect the decision of the Scottish and NI electorate to remain within the EU.
The UK is a political Union involving England, Wales, Scotland and NI. The latter two voted to stay within the EU over the advisory referendum by a large margin. (62% and 55.5%)
It is a democratic necessity that they are not taken out of the EU against their will.
More details
Problems due to Brexit over the NI and Scotland to EU border have not been properly addressed. The Brexit process should be halted until clarified.
A fragile peace over the Good Friday agreement threatens being destabilised over Conservatives using DUP MP’s to prop up their minority.
Scotland and NI who voted against these problems should not have to suffer the consequences. Alternatives such as an EU border between Scotland and England would likely better suit democracy and should be investigated to make Brexit work for the majority. A comparison between the 1979 devolution and EU referendum and also the Scotlands position in the EU post independence must be properly debated by parliament now.
