MPs to vote in favour of a general election before blocking no-deal EU exit.

What the petition asks
MPs to vote in favour of a general election before any legally binding legislation to block no-deal exit from the EU is passed into law, thereby allowing the British public to elect a party and PM to take a democratically supported course of action that delivers the result of the EU referendum.
The majority of MPs have chosen not to support the government in its attempts to deliver the democratic result of the EU referendum. The referendum question was "Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the EU or leave the EU?". Two choices, one result, no caveat. Current parliamentary action is working in direct conflict with the delivery of the EU referendum result, and therefore is anti-democratic and against all principles of our democracy.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
The decision of how to vote on a particular issue is for individual MP's and not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament as a whole.
