Petition Call on the European Parliament to urge MEPs to engage with constituents

Every four years, EU citizens vote on democratic representatives in the European Parliament (MEPs). Very few people know who their MEP is. If the UK votes to stay in the European Union, the Government must call on the European Parliament to urge MEPs to be more accessible and open to constituents.
