Rejected petition Free vote for MPs in a ballot on whether Britain should have a Referendum on the relationship with the EU

More details

I propose that ALL MPs must be given a free vote (no Whipping by Parties) in a Ballot.
A pre-requisite is that MPs should by whatever means (local referenda or local ballot) find out what their constituents want and vote in accordance with the wishes of their constituency and provide true democracy.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

Whipping is a matter for political parties and not HM Government

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