Petition · past parliament

There should be a by-election for the 7 former Labour MP's whom have left.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Electors vote based on party not those standing for election. The democratic thing to do is to stick to our British Values and call for a by-election. These 7 MP's speak so confidently about what their constituents desire and demand, so a by-election would be a walk in the park for them.
If a new party is formed it will give a greater mandate to the May who could recklessly destroy us with brexit.
