My advice not to sign the petition calling for the revocation of Article 50 given that "a people's vote may not happen" has attracted criticism from a number of members.  In the light of these views I am withdrawing my advice.

 

 

My concern is still there: we have over the last few months succeeded in uniting the Remain movement around the one democratic and honourable process for reversing Brexit that could enable the country to heal afterwards: a referendum on the terms with the option to Remain (People's Vote).  We should not deviate from that course. Nor should we do anything that allows our opponents to paint us as anti-democratic. The march that we all went on and that your efforts made such a success was called "Put it to the People". 

 

I also suggest that the ruling of the ECJ that any revocation of the Article 50 notification would have to be in an “unequivocal and unconditional manner”, where “the purpose of that revocation is to confirm the EU membership of the Member State concerned …, and that revocation brings the withdrawal procedure to an end.” means that revocation could not be used to provide an opportunity to rethink whether the country still wanted Brexit and have a referendum afterwards.
