Rejected petition Reject 3 line whips on votes relating to leaving the EU.

Invoking Article 50 and revising UK policy as a result of leaving the EU affects every citizen. Official positions on the Referendum crossed party lines. MPs wouldn't represent constituents by voting solely with their party. We ask that MPs consider the wishes of the people before political party.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

Decisions about whipping are the responsibility of political parties, not the Government or Parliament as a whole.

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