Rejected petition Ensure MPs don't vote to repeal the 1972 European Communities Act

There is a 350 majority amongst MPs in favour of remaining in the EU. Should they be asked to vote to repeal the 1972 European Communities Act they have a duty to vote according to their own beliefs. To vote otherwise would impair the democratic process
