Rejected petition Make it law that all sitting MPs represent their constituents at all times

It’s time MPs were held accountable for their actions. All MPs should represent the majority of their constituency regardless of their personal feelings. MPs should automatically lose their seat if they choose to ignore the majority of their constituents followed with a by-election

Democracy can only work when the people have a voice.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

How an MP votes would be an individual decision for that person, and not a decision for the Government or Parliament as a whole.
The UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for removing MPs from office because of their views or opinions.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
