Rejected petition Revoke article 16 and retain the protocol

There is no way the government can introduce or trigger articles 16. By triggering article 16 this will lead to alot of problems in northern ireland and this can lead to the borders of the past and the violence of the past.

More details

Triggering article 16 would be a violation of the good friday agreement and it would be unfair to those who lives near the border in Northern Ireland. So sign this petition to press the government not the introduce any article 16
