Urge MPs to vote with their conscience on any EU-related issue.

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

Many feel that the public has been blatantly lied to by the Brexiteers, rendering the result of the referendum one that can be ignored. MPs can stop Brexit, putting the public interest before their personal careers. Referendums are advisory only, and MPs are representatives, not delegates.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
