article 50 ~ EU ~ Lisbon Treaty ~ Parliament
Ask the Government not to invoke article 50 of the Lisbon treaty.

The British people have voted to leave the European Union and their will must be respected and delivered.
The British people have voted to leave the European Union and their will must be respected and delivered. Article 50 explicitly recognises that a Member State may decide to withdraw “in accordance with its own constitutional requirements”. It is for the Member State concerned to determine what those constitutional requirements are.
