Make it easier for constituents to force a recall election for sitting MP's

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Currently sitting MP's are able to go against constituents interests and face no repercussions.
MP's such as Anna Soubry campaigned on manifestos to leave the European Union yet as soon as they are elected they reject that manifesto, showing nothing but spite for their voters and began campaigning for a second referendum. They then resigned from their parties and decided to dictate their own manifesto. The Ego Manifesto.

Constituents no longer have the ability to know what their MP stands for and if an MP goes against the interests of their constituency their constituents should have the rights to easily remove them.
