Brexit is a 'nationalist spasm': Adonis resigns as infrastructure tsar

[Ghost Dog]

10. Parliament was required by petition to debate this:

I (virtually) signed the petition, so received this email after the debate:

Dear (Ghost Dog),

Parliament debated the petition you signed – “Hold a referendum on the final Brexit deal”

It's rather curious that I was able to participate in the (online) petition, simply providing my (real name), email address and postcode of where I live in the Canary Islands. In the original Brexit referendum and in the subsequent general election I was, on the other hand, (imo illegally) disenfranchised, having officially resided in non-UK EU more than fifteen years.

Government responded:

On 23 June 2016 the British people voted to leave the European Union. The UK Government is clear that it is now its duty to implement the will of the people and so there will be no second referendum...

A second referendum would not be illegal, as I understand it. Some of what Ms. May's Government is doing might well be, though. Such as withholding information in contempt of parliament.
