Closed petition A referendum on the secession and independence of Greater London.

This petition proposes a referendum on the secession of Greater London from the United Kingdom. Districts and boroughs in the Home Counties falling predominantly within the M25 to have their ballot counted separately with their majority deciding whether they remain in the UK or join Greater London.

More details

We believe London is an international cosmopolitan city that wants to remain at the heart of Europe, England is a nation that cherishes its traditions and history. These two ideals are no longer compatible and are causing increased political polarisation and instability.

It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.
