Rejected petition Call a general election now,with MPs alongside party name stating leave/remain.

With the recent referendum the majority of those who voted chose leave, however parliament has more remain MPs than leave. I believe that in the last general election people voted as a majority for the parties offering a referendum (Tories and UKIP) to secure having their say.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

For example, you could start a new petition calling for a general election, and calling on Parliament to change the law to require the rules for ballot papers to be changed, to require the ballot papers to show whether each candidate supports the UK remaining in, or leaving, the EU.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
