Leave the EU, now that we know the costs (per voter: Leave £1000, Remain £4/wk)
The 2016 referendum was not well-informed. Now the cost of leaving the EU is clear: ~£45 billion (£1000 per voter). The net cost of remaining is £8.6 billion/yr, or £4 per voter/wk. This petition, for Leave, and a parallel petition, for Remain, allow people to tell MPs their current view.
Figures for the cost of leaving from here:

Figures for net cost of membership from here:

Figures for voter numbers from here:

~£45 billion/~46 million = ~1000
~£8.6 billion/~46 million/52 = ~4

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that your petition is "for leave", but we're not sure what specific action you'd like the UK Government or Parliament to take.
If you would like to "Leave the EU immediately", you might like to sign this petition instead:
petition.parliament.uk/petitions/200165
You could also start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
