Petition · past parliament

Suspend from Parliament all Brexit MPs shown to have lied to the British People.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

I believe that the British People were intentionally misled into voting to leave the EU by a series of lies that were perpetrated by MPs whose motivation was nothing more than their own personal ambition. For dishonesty, they should be suspended from Parliament pending judicial review.

Why it was rejected

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

The Government and Parliament does not have power to suspend MPs in the circumstances you describe. If you want to change the law so that it can, you might like to sign this petition: Ban politicians from office who lie or deliberately/knowingly deceive the public

Judicial review is also not something which the Government or Parliament is responsible for. That's the responsibility of the courts. A judicial review can only be brought by making an application for judicial review to the courts.
