Rejected petition Reconfirm the UK's adherence to free and fair democratic ideals re. article 50.

UK democracy is at risk if article 50 is not revoked. The UK was known as a bastion for free and fair democratic ideals. Based on the electoral commission's investigations, several electoral laws were broken during the 2016 referendum and this clearly jeopardises the fairness of the vote.

Continuing with the article 50 gives an extremely strong impression that the government is rewarding illegal behaviour. This sets a dangerous precedence for the future.
