Petition · past parliament

Require all MPs to honour the result of referendum in their constituancy by law.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Many MPs are disregarding their own constituancies result in the Brexit referendum and allowing their own views to supercede those of the voting public. This should be illegal.
All MPs must act as required by the referendum result in their constituancy and not their own beliefs, if they can not support the legal result they must be held to account in a court. Their actions are tantamount to treason.

Why it was rejected

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

How an MP votes would be an individual decision for that person, and not a decision for the Government or Parliament as a whole.

You could ask your own MP to vote according to the result of referendum in your constituency. You can find out who your MP is and how to contact them here:
