What the petition asks

After the shambles of indicative votes & the Brexit process it is clear Parliament isn't functioning because Politician's have no fears of being held to account for their actions & in a democratic society nobody should be above the law. Brexit has seen Politicians act like badly behaved children.
After a shambles of indicative votes & the Brexit process it is clear Parliament isn't functioning. Politician's have no fears of being held to account for their actions & in a democratic society nobody should be above the law. In a modern democratic society internationally politicians are held responsible for their actions without impunity so why not in the United Kingdom.
When Democracy has broken down it is time to change the rules & the most draconian rule of Parliamentary privilege must go
