Amend the Treason Felony Act to preserve democracy in the UK.
Amend the Treason Felony Act by making it an offence to overturn a referendum result to which all main parties had given a pledge to adhere. On June 23rd 2016 we voted to leave the EU. A failure to implement the will of the people would destroy our country’s democracy and lead to conflict.
"When the British people speak, their voice will be respected, not ignored.
If we vote to leave, then we will leave.
There will not be another renegotiation and another referendum."
-- David Cameron's pledge on the referendum for the Tory Party on the EU referendum vote.
