To debate the "Stockport Declaration" of democratic rights after leaving the EU.
To debate the Declaration which has been developed and supported by British Citizens since the UK left the EU in January 2016. We would like Parliament to support the Declaration as an example of our country's long history of democratic struggles, e.g. the Levellers, the Chartists & Suffragettes.
The decision to leave the European Union in the 2016 Referendum was the largest exercise in direct democracy the United Kingdom has ever seen. It was a real example of a 'bottom-up' movement for democratic change. The vote to leave the EU (at the time), was not supported by most members of Parliament or the mainstream political parties.
By debating the Stockport Declaration and the democratic principles contained therein, Parliamentarians will be discussing the wishes of constituents directly.
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:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what action you'd like Parliament to take, beyond debating an issue.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do, but you will need to spell out the actions rather than refer to a seperate document.
