Rejected petition Equitable treatment of MPs who have defied a three line whip in this Parliament

During the course of this Parliament, many MPs have defied their party's Whip. To call for the deselection of MPs who have voted with their conscience not only appears draconian and unjustified; it is inconsistent. Rules should be applied consistently, irrespective of the issue at hand.
