Petition · past parliament

Replace our current MEPs if we are to stay in the EU.

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

If the referendum results in a vote to Remain, we respectfully ask for new elections to be held to replace those MEPs who campaigned for leaving the EU.
Too many of our current MEPs have been anti-EU for too long, I find it hard to believe that many of the claims levelled at the EU commission couldn't have been fixed if our "representatives" had actually engaged with the EU rather than furthering their own interests.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

The UK Government and Parliament are not responsible for the timing of European Parliament elections. You can find out more here:
