Legislate - MP must vote according to the majority of their constituents.
Rejected
21 signatures
What the petition asks
Too many MPs in Parliament are voting against the will of electorate. MPs think they know better. It is not for them to judge whether they know better or not but to carry out the will of their constituents.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
How an MP votes would be an individual decision for that person, and not a decision for the Government or Parliament as a whole.
You could ask your own MP to vote according to the result of referendum in your constituency. You can find out who your MP is and how to contact them here:
