Abolish ‘Whips’ in Parliament, The UK is not a Dictatorship.
The use of the 'whip' to prevent OUR MP's voting with their own mind and for their constituents should be abolished immediately.
As seen recently in the run up to the vote on giving the public a voice on the EU the use of 'whips' shows nothing but contempt for the British public, the governments e-petitions and democracy in this country.
MP's are meant to represent the public who voted them in, not the whims of a pseudo-democratically elected führer.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Whipping is a matter for political parties and not HM Government
