Rejected petition End of party Whips

More details

The use of whips, disciplinary action, or blatant bribery through promotion into various roles should be abolished from use within the government structure. Their usage contravenes the ideal of democracy and until such a time as they are gone, we will not have a democratic government.

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.
