Exploring a Union: UK to Become the 51st State of the USA
We urge the UK Government and Parliament to formally debate the potential integration of the United Kingdom as a member state of the United States of America. This petition requests that Parliament explore the legal, economic, political, and social implications of such a union.
First, economic opportunity. Joining the United States could provide the UK with access to one of the world’s largest economies without the complexities of negotiating trade deals.
Second, political stability. The UK has experienced significant political uncertainty in recent years. Becoming part of the United States could offer long-term political certainty and stability by aligning with a globally influential and economically powerful nation.
Third, enhanced defense and global influence.
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:
Joining of the United States of America would be a matter for the US Congress to decide, and not something the UK Government or Parliament could unilaterally do.
