STOP BREXIT - Final Signatures: 112,578

It's so desperately simple. The Government's standard response to these kinds of petitions is "The British people voted to leave the EU and the government respect that decision". BUT, the government themselves DO NOT KNOW the outcome of that decision, so how can they possibly respect it???

Debate: This petition was debated in Westminster Hall on 14th January 2019

The people of the United Kingdom gave a clear instruction to leave the European Union. The Government respects that decision.

Hold a referendum on whether to leave with the deal offered or remain in the EU - Final Signatures: 60,827

Over 200 polls since July 2017 provide concrete evidence that the public supports remaining in the EU and it was wrong in hindsight to vote to leave.

Saying the situation is People v Parliament doesn’t stand up when the public are split over Brexit - it is Half the Public v Half of Parliament.

Start preparations for a Peoples Vote now, to enable answer by 31-10-19. - Final Signatures: 11,334

There are considerable legal hurdles to undertake a referendum. If that process is not started soon, it would be extremely difficult for the Government/Parliament to instigate a "Peoples Vote" prior to the present Brexit Extension of 31 October 2019.

The Government responsed to this petition on 18th June 2019 (View Full Response)
The Government maintains its commitment to upholding the 2016 referendum result. The extension agreed in April does not mean there is less urgency within government to deliver the referendum result.

Repeal the EU Withdrawal Act to Prevent Accidental No-deal Brexit - Final Signatures: 14,505

The passing of the EU Withdrawal Act in June 2018 means that by law the UK is set to leave the EU on Exit Day. Unless the Act is repealed, Brexit remains a statutory inevitability, and no-deal Brexit is what we'll get by default on Exit Day if our paralysed politics prevent something better.

The Government responsed to this petition on 15th January 2019 (View Full Response)
We do not want or expect no deal. The best way of avoiding it is for MPs to approve the deal. However, in the event of a no deal, the EU (Withdrawal) Act will be in place to ensure legal continuity.
Closed Petition closed 29th March 2018

We must leave the EU completely in March 2019 - No transition period, No delay - Final Signatures: 36,305

Theresa May is betraying the British people who voted to leave the EU by making the UK stay in until 2021 and paying billions of pounds to the EU while we stay. No immigration control, no border control, no sovereignty - an absolute betrayal of the 17 million voters who chose to leave.

The Government responsed to this petition on 13th February 2018 (View Full Response)
As the Prime Minister said in Florence ‘the United Kingdom will cease to be a member of the European Union on 29th March 2019.’ An implementation period does not mean postponing Brexit.
