What the petition asks
Barry Sheerman is the Labour MP for Kirklees, West Yorkshire.
He has opposed Brexit and gone against the 55% of Kirklees constituents who voted to leave the European Union.
He constantly portrays that he speaks for his constituents but follows his own beliefs.
This is not democratic.

He constantly portrays that he speaks for his constituents but follows his own beliefs.
This is not democratic.
He also branded leave supporters as less well educated than remainers.
For these reasons, this man needs deselecting and a by-election needs to be held at the soonest possible time.
People of Huddersfield and the wider community have no faith in this MP any longer.
