This petition was submitted during the 2017 to 2019 Parliament
Rejected petition Give Constituents the right to recall their MP if a certain threshold is met
Rejected on
Turkeys don't vote for Xmas, but recent events have shown many MPs are behaving in a partisan way contrary to the wishes of the constituents they were elected to represent. We even have convicted criminals and proven liars taking decisions on our behalf. There must be a mechanism to recall them
MPs are our representatives, not our overlords. They work for us. 421 constituencies voted Leave but many have MPs who are voting to stop Brexit. Without a legitimate mechanism to recall them public anger risks bubbling over
