Rejected petition Do not allow MPs who are candidates for succeeding The PM a vote on Brexit Deal

Those who are likely to take over from May as Prime minister should not be able to vote on May’s Deal as they will be biased.
Their political career should not come before the future welfare of the UK.

More details

Teresa May will stand down as Prime Minister if her Deal is backed, this would lead to an immediate change in opinion for those who are likely to succeed her. They will back her deal to further their political ideal rather than voting in favour of what is good for the People of the UK. Those who are likely to take over From May should not be able to vote on May’s Deal.
