What the petition asks
Labour MP David Lammy has called on Parliament to "stop this madness" and to vote against the referendum decision to leave the EU. This is against the will of the people who voted to leave the EU and as a public servant he should abide with what the majority wants following a democratic process.
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 removing MPs from office because of their views or opinions.
