ALL Political Parties enact a 3 line whip on a vote on invoking Article 50.

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

IF the government fails in it's appeal against the high court on their decision on who can invoke Article 50, then the Conservatives, Labour and others must all place a three-line whip on a yes vote (yes to invoke it)

Why it was rejected

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

Arrangements for "whipping" votes are the responsibility of the political parties, not the Government and Parliament.
