Candidates for a General Election should have Leave or Remain next to their name

What the petition asks
If there is a snap general election as a result of the Brexit deadlock, any candidate standing for election should have whether they are leave or remain next to their name. That way any government formed should be held accountable if they are elected as a leave or remain.
We have seeen since the last general election two of the main political parties totally go against their mandates to honour the referendum vote to leave the EU. Those MP’s who have gone against their constituents who voted leave need to be held accountable.
