Parliament to debate the outcome of the EU referendum and have a free vote.
The EU referendum is an advisory referendum. It is not legally binding and the Government is not obliged to enact the outcome. Only 37% of the electorate voted to leave (35% voted to stay and 28% abstained). The Houses of Commons and Lords should provide oversight of the decision.
The majority of the electorate have not voted to leave. The Government is not obliged to enact the outcome of the referendum. It is already clear that a decision to leave would be extremely damaging to the UK, to Europe and to the World. It is unnecessary and irresponsible for the Government to enact a decision to leave without subjecting that decision to Parliamentary scrutiny. This petition is intended to request that this scrutiny occurs and that due legislative process is followed.
