Petition updateSave the UK by forgetting BREXIT and Rejoining the EU2016 UK Referendum was NOT democratic

BREXIT is a mess. The UK Parliament has zero opposition except for the odd MP thus few are supporting or even discussing the rejection of Article 50 option.

Both May and Corbyn claim they cannot ignore the 2016 referendum that narrowly voted for Leave. Not only was that referendum influenced by lies and ignorance it was hardly democratic either.  Also what is a democratically elected Parliament for if it can be overridden by a whimsical referendum?

Yes, I am sure May and Corbyn are honorable people but it is clear their own ambitions have gotten in the way of the right thing to do for the British people (that includes the Scots and Irish by the way and also lil ol me who lives in the EU).

On democracy, it is not clear that the 2016 referendum was fair...''Yet the implications for Britain of Mueller’s indictments have barely been reported, let alone understood, in the UK. Theresa May must have been briefed on all this. She knows. She’s just not telling." See: https://www.nybooks.com/daily/2018/11/16/why-britain-needs-its-own-mueller/?wpisrc=nl_todayworld&wpmm=1

A democrat would include all people affected by a decision with UK citizenship.  Even in EU alone we know: 1.3 million people born in the UK live in other EU countries, according to 2017 estimates from the United Nations (UN). Around 900,000 UK citizens were long-term residents in other EU countries in 2010 and 2011, according to census data across the EU collated by the Office for National Statistics (ONS).

Includes all of us by the way, who will be forced to accept BREXIT B/S.

Happily it looks like I can get Irish citizenship and passport...but why am I forced to do that? No-one in UK Parliament gives a hoot.

Good to know I can trust Corbyn with my wristwatch, May too I suspect...but they have both sold Britain down the road to oblivion.

Do vote and contribute to our petition, let's try and get 100,000 votes so at least the UK Parliament would have to listen to us!
