5.8 million Britons sign petition against brexit, the government puts them down beside her

The British government has no ears to the aspirations of the more than 5.8 million signatories of the online petition to the brexit to withdraw. The petition drew a record: it is the most supported proposal for parliament ever in the United Kingdom. The members of parliament will hold a debate on the petition, but the government wants to say “no promises to break” and stays behind the brexit.

The cape of 100,000 digital signatures has long been rounded, which the parliament calls for a debate on the proposal, scheduled for 1 april. But the petition, the government has certainly not believe do change. That remains the brexit support, with the argument that it is the will of the people.

On 23 June 2016, spoke to the people about the British membership of the European Union. 51,9 per cent opted for departure from the EU, 48,1 percent voted to remain. The yes camp won so narrowly. But the British government can at any time article 50 unilaterally revoked without the consent of the other countries of the EU. Article 50 stipulates that a member state in the EU must notify its intention to the union to leave. If Great Britain, the article 50 to withdraw, then it will remain just in the EU. But that “would be both our democracy undermine the trust that millions of voters in the government have made”, reads the official response to the online petition of the department for leaving the EU.
