This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament
Rejected petition Politicans should honour & respect the same democratic process that elected them
What is the purpose of Parliament? Its primary function is to serve the people of the United Kingdom
Having specifically asked the people to democratically decide on our future EU membership, does Parliament have the right to then ignore and break their previous solemn promises and pledges to us?
More details
Having failed to agree on our EU membership they asked us to decide for them via a referendum.
They pledged to honour and deliver on the people’s decision. Legislation was passed & the process to Leave began, as defined in Article 50 and subsequently detailed in the ‘Withdrawal Bill’. MPs passed both by large majorities. The backstop position detailed within Article 50 & the Withdrawal Bill (assuming no further agreement or consensus is reached) is we leave & then trade on WTO terms.
