What the petition asks
Government abstained from the Opposition Day vote on Universal Credit (18/10/17), insulting both democracy & Parliament.
In the words of John Bercow: “This institution is bigger than any one party & is bigger than any government”
If the Government doesn’t respect this then we must replace it.
