Demand byelections of the 172 revolting Labour MPs to legitimise coup or resign

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

Jeremy Corbyn has a clear mandate from the members of his party, and the old guard of Blair's 'New Labour' & their centralist politics are the catalyst for an ineffectual opposition and do not reflect the mood of the U.K. We recognise Corbyn as TRUE Labour and demand the party be whipped to in line

Why it was rejected

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