MPs to vote on Brexit motions as their constituents voted in the referendum
Rejected
16 signatures
What the petition asks
MPs are empowered to represent their constituents, in the case of the referendum this was a binary choice. MPs however are not representing these constituents and are voting on their own decision. This is unconstitutional and undemocratic.
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:
