Important:

This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament

Rejected petition Make all party manifestos legally binding documents.

In 2017 both Conservative and Labour Manifestos at the General Election stated that the referendum results would be honoured should they be elected.

More details

MP's that were elected on a manifesto that stated that the referendum would be honoured who have then subsequently breached said manifesto by voting against the original manifesto mandate have been elected on false pretences.
I petition that all future parties manifestos are legally binding documents and are enforceable should said party be elected.
