Hold Leave voting MP's responsible for every death caused by Brexit.

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

Leave voting MP's are putting the lives of their constituents at risk by pushing Brexit, worse still there are those pushing for a No Deal Brexit.

MP's that push for Brexit should be held responsible when people die because of it.
An academic report has outlined the ways the NHS will be negatively affected by Brexit.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

In any case, "holding people responsible" for deaths would be the responsibility of the courts, which are independent of the the UK Parliament and Government.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
