Arrest MP's that voted to break the law and allow fracking in National Parks !

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

The MP's who swear to withhold the law are taking it into their own hands for nothing more than a few quid in the bank. They want to destroy the sanctity of our national parks which are protected by the law of this land for profit.
