What the petition asks
These MPs are all clamouring for a people’s vote on Brexit, yet they quit their parties and form this new group and ‘new politics’ with complete utter disregard for their constituents! They should all give their people a people’s vote on their defections and ‘new politics’ in by-elections
They say politics is broken, they are the ones breaking it even more. They refuse to accept the result of a democratic referendum and now refuse to give people in their constituents a vote on their defections. They are killing democracy!
