Current status: Rejected
Rejection code: no-action (see below for details)
This Government must not pursue a 'No Deal' Brexit which has no public mandate.
No groups campaigned for a 'No Deal' pre-referendum. Indeed that term was not yet coined.
The people were never asked their opinion on a 'No Deal' nor given any official analysis of what that really meant for them or for the country.
The Government's actions, including reneging on agreed EU pledges, indicate that an underhand No Deal option is being actively pursued, thus deceiving the public. The Conservatives told us that we would get a quick and easy future agreement with the EU, based on the PM's achieved deal, and won on that basis. Additionally, recent polls for an extension to achieve this shows clear majority support.
British people were promised an EU deal to protect jobs, the economy, business, peace, security and rights. They must now deliver.
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 only accept petitions that call on the Government to take a specific action that it is not already taking. The Government has been clear that it is seeking to agree a trade agreement with the EU prior to the end of the transition period: www.gov.uk/government/publications/our-approach-to-the-future-relationship-with-the-eu
We have published a number of petitions calling on the Government to pursue particular outcomes during the negotiations, or to extend the transition period, which you might like to sign:
Extend the transition; delay negotiations until after the coronavirus outbreak: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/300412
Hold a referendum on the post-2020 UK-EU relationship with option to rejoin EU: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/300026
Extend the transitional phase of Brexit by one year, to 31.12.21: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/303686
In Brexit talks negotiate for continued EU single market membership for the UK: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/319241
If you would like the Government to pursue an action not covered by the above petitions, you could start a new petition about this, but it would need to be clear what outcome you want the Government to achieve.
