Rejected petition Members of parliament to respect Mr Cameron pledge to the British People

Mr Cameron while in Government said a democratic vote to either stay in the EU or come out would be put to the people of the UK and once taken would be honoured it would be the people's choice not members of parliament ,so why are members allowed to try to break Mr Cameron promise?

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

In any case, how an MP votes would be an individual decision for that person, and not a decision for the UK Government or Parliament as a whole.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

You might also like to sign and share one of these petitions instead:
