Give a free vote on EU Referendum
The previous e-petition on a referendum on EU membership garnered over 100,000 votes, however the government feels that they can ignore the public by using the three line whip.
This e-petition seeks to gain over 100,000 votes to force Parliament to have a free and unfettered vote on holding a referendum on EU membership.
Therefore if passed, then Parliament and the Government should once again vote on a EU membership referendum but allow MPs to vote according to their constituents wishes.
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
