Withhold the salaries of all MPs until Brexit is resolved.

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

MPs have brought the country in to disrepute with their selfish acts regarding the referendum and actioning the will of the people who elected them.

Over 17m people voted and the leave option had the overall majority. I personally voted remain but happy to go with the majority and leave.
We have elected these MPs to act on our behalf but they have disregarding the vote and delayed Brexit and pointlessly debated it over and over again without any consideration for the will of the people who elected them.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
