Rejected petition Investigate if some MPs have a conflict of interest in voting over Brexit and WA

Could the British MPs be profiteering by Brexit or a particular type of Brexit? Are they in a position to book profit by voting a particular way? Are they moving their money out of UK and/or making money from Brexit? Is it in their personal interest to leave EU? Can we rule out conflict of interest?

More details

Please investigate if the MPs have any conflict of interest by voting on Brexit. It is rumoured that some MPs have either already moved their money out of the UK or are are looking to move their money outside UK to book profit from Brexit and/or a particular type of Brexit. Should the MPs be allowed to profiteer in this way, showing a complete disregard to the British people?
