Investigate the ERG for anarchic behaviour in voting against ALL Brexit options.

What the petition asks
The ERG (people like Iain Duncan Smith, David Davis and Jacob Rees Mogg) had positioned themselves as a movement against remaining in the EU and were persuasive in the referendum. But their voting patterns indicate organised destructive behaviour against remain and leave and compromise.
Their collective voting patterns are “concerning”. I analysed how they voted in the recent indicative votes. 92% of the Wikipedia known 77 ERG members (excluding ministers) collectively voted against all of the recent indicative vote options. These were Brexit and compromise options.
So far they have been voting destructively against:
1 Leave
2 Remain
3 A rethink
In other words, AGAINST EVERYTHING. Is their agenda is to bring down the government and seize power at all costs?

Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
The UK Government and Parliament are not responsible for how individual MPs, or groups of MPs, choose to vote.
