Make it law that all voting in national and local government are free votes.

Petition Details

The aim is to introduce true democracy into our politics. 'Whipping' our government representatives often forces them to vote against the wishes of those that they represent. Making this practice illegal will also encourage active canvassing for votes and hence stronger discussions.
