Rejected petition Suspend Labour MP David Lammy for asking Parliament to defy the EU Referendum.

The EU Referendum has been completed and the country has voted to leave the EU. Parliament has to respect the will of the majority of the nation. Having a MP call on Parliament to defy this will goes against democracy and is an insult to the people.
