Rejected petition Call for a no confidence debate in the event that EU trade negotiations fail

I want the Government to understand that they will be held to account by Parliament for any failure in EU trade negotiations. Such a failure would be in direct contradiction of promises made by the PM to the electorate during the Brexit campaign and the general election.

More details

I believe that the British Electorate were hoodwinked by Brexit campaigners in many areas but most significantly into the belief that a trade deal with the EU was a foregone conclusion. Politicians in Britain must be taught that falsehoods and rash promises will be punished and remembered by the nation.
