If there is no agreement to leave the EU then brexit must be stopped - Final Signatures: 110,136

If there is no agreement by the deadline for reaching agreement with the EU during the talks then brexit should be stopped as leaving with no deal will be very bad for businesses and for the Irish border issue and for EU citizens living here.

Whilst striking a deal with our EU partners remains the outcome we expect, ‘no deal’ plans are well-developed and we stand ready to make a success of Brexit, whatever the outcome of our negotiations.

Have another general election - Final Signatures: 10,912

The government is dysfunctional. Current policies ranging from Universal Credit, NHS social care to Brexit are causing great dismay. This country deserves better. The government refuses to contribute to parliamentary votes, uses filibustering tactics and lacks transparency. This is not democracy.

The Government responsed to this petition on 22nd May 2019 (View Full Response)
General elections are now every 5 years unless an early general election is called under the terms of the Fixed-term Parliaments Act.

Revoke Article 50 and remain in the EU. - Final Signatures: 6,103,056

The government repeatedly claims exiting the EU is 'the will of the people'. We need to put a stop to this claim by proving the strength of public support now, for remaining in the EU. A People's Vote may not happen - so vote now.

This Government will not revoke Article 50. We will honour the result of the 2016 referendum and work with Parliament to deliver a deal that ensures we leave the European Union.

We want the Government to abolish the British Monarchy. We believe the Monarchy is an outdated concept, and that proceeds of the Crown Estate that are allocated the monarchy could be better spent on public services. Most modern European countries are Republics.
