Closed petition Keep the United Kingdom inside the European Economic Area (EEA) and rejoin EFTA.

Closed on

-A supermajority of young people voted to remain inside the European Union
-We now know the consequences truly of voting to leave and Article 50 hasn't yet been triggered.
-Hundreds of thousands if not millions of Leave voters regret their decision

We the undersigned pledge our support for the United Kingdom remaining a part of the EEA, which includes the EU alongside Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway. We pledge our support for rejoining the European Free Trade Agreement, which we established in 1960 and led until 1973. EEA member countries outside the EU participate in its single market but can also negotiate trade agreements freely and independently. We the British people would also continue to have de facto European Union citizenship.
