Rejected petition voting in parliament

More details

In this age of technology it is a disgrace the way voting is carried out in parliament. Each member should be able to vote electronically, without interference from party whips, and this should include members who are absent for whatever reason.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

This is a matter for the House not for HMG

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

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.
