What the petition asks
Too many MPs have changed their mind about what their parties pledged in 2017 manifestos, yet they are not elected to represent themselves, they are elected to represent their constituencies. They must see if their constituencies have changed theirs. A general election must be triggered immediatly.
Every day an MP sits in their seat they are being paid by taxpayers money. We have a right to decide who sits there.
Too many MPs have 'changed their mind' about what their parties pledged in 2017 manifestos. However they were not elected to represent themselves, they were elected to represent their constituencies. They have no right to change their mind without seeing if their constituencies have changed theirs. A general election needs triggering immediately.
