This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition Give us the right to sack MP's that break election promises and defy our wishes.
For far too long, prospective members of parliament and political parties of all denominations, have lied to the British public in order to get elected. We the British public demand the means to remove our MPs and indeed our government if they are not acting in the interest of the British people
More details
Past examples of MP's lying to the public to get elected are numerous and include past prime ministers and high ranking parliamentarians,
Issues include immigration, law and order, defence and the latest fiasco regarding the Brexit referendum.
A majority voted to leave the EU and we are now no closer to doing so than the day of the vote, many MP's are openly disregarding the will of the people and we should therefore have the right to sack them and elect MP's that will do as the public wishes.
