Make all party manifestos legally binding documents.

What the petition asks
In 2017 both Conservative and Labour Manifestos at the General Election stated that the referendum results would be honoured should they be elected.
MP's that were elected on a manifesto that stated that the referendum would be honoured who have then subsequently breached said manifesto by voting against the original manifesto mandate have been elected on false pretences.
I petition that all future parties manifestos are legally binding documents and are enforceable should said party be elected.
