This petition was submitted during the 2015 to 2017 Parliament
Rejected petition Call upon the Labour MP for Tottenham, David Lammy, to resign.
Rejected on
David Lammy, an MP is urging the British Government to completely ignore democracy and block the EU referendum result. This is a disgusting move for a Member of Parliment elected by the public. He should either withdraw his comments or resign because of them.
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
The UK Government and Parliament are not responsible for removing MPs from office because of their views or opinions. Decisions on whether to withdraw comments and on whether to resign would be matters for Mr Lammy himself.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
