What the petition asks
For long enough our MP have voted against the public's wishes following referendums. It is time that they became truly accountable to the voting public. If MP had to vote inline with their constituents this whole debacle over Brexit would not exist because the people would have true representation.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
We can't accept your petition because it's not the UK Government or Parliament's responsibility to criminalise someone's political beliefs or decisions.
