Debate the notion that The House of Commons is now redundant

What the petition asks

Having ceded all power to the "executive" i.e. the Cabinet over the meaningful vote, it would appear that MP's and The House of Commons are getting paid for doing nothing. Please debate the notion that The House of Commons is now redundant.

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