Rejected petition Start Brexit and invoke Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty without delay

"If the British people vote to leave there is only one way to bring that about – and that is to trigger Article 50 of the Treaties and begin the process of exit. And the British people would rightly expect that to start straight away."

David Cameron, Feb 22, 2016.
