Use the parliament act to over turn the lords blocking the article 50 bill
The governments brexit bill has been defeated by the unelected House of Lords. We want the parliament act invoke to by pass the House of Lords and get brexit started.
We need to trigger artical 50 as soon as possible. By delaying we are causing uncertainty and harming our country. We need to know we're we stand. We need to negotiate with a strong hand, and show the world we're ready for business.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The Parliament Acts 1911 and 1949 together limit the powers of the House of Lords in relation to legislation. Bills must be passed by the House of Commons in two successive sessions, with at least one year between the first Commons second reading and the Commons third reading in the second session, before the Parliament Act can be invoked.
