To leave the EU on 31st October and become a member of the EFTA
The UK was a co-founder and part of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) from its inception in 1960 until we became a member of the EU. EFTA also allows for bilateral trade agreements with other EU countries while not being part of the EU. This is ideal to form a Brexit deal.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't solely responsible for the issue you raise. Membership of EFTA is a matter for the EFTA members.
You could start a petition requiring the Government to leave the EU on 31 October 2019 and request to join EFTA, if that is what you would like to see happen.
