Rejected petition Make it a criminal act for MPs to vote against their constituents.
Rejected on
For long enough our MP have voted against the public's wishes following referendums. It is time that they became truly accountable to the voting public. If MP had to vote inline with their constituents this whole debacle over Brexit would not exist because the people would have true representation.
