Petition Don’t trigger Article 50 – just leave

Under international law and under Article 50 (1) itself, only notice to leave is necessary.

More details

if Article 50(2) is ‘triggered’ it implies that the UK government accepts that the EU will decide the conditions of UK’s withdrawal. This has serious consequences. An arbitrary two-year negotiation window; a supreme agency problem between negotiating parties. All the while we will be contributing approximately £40bn gross, or £20bn net, to the European project.
