Rejected petition Allow MPs a free vote on whether to accept or reject the final Brexit deal

Brexit is the single biggest decision this country has taken in over a generation.

It is essential the national interest comes first and not party politics. MPs must not be bound by political parties and vote with their conscience.

MPs should be allowed a free vote on the final deal.

More details

A free vote allows MPs to vote with their conscience, free from party politics. It allows them to vote for what is best for the country and not what is best for their political party. A free vote strengthens the democratic process
