TRUE DEMOCRACY FOR THE PEOPLE
Make all petitions which have gathered 100,000 signatures the subject of a parliamentary vote in which the MP's are free to vote according to their consciences and the result to be binding on the Government.This would mean, for example, that if 100,000 people petitioned that MP's vote on whether the UK should have a referendum on whether we should stay in the EU or not and the vote was carried, the Government would be bound to hold such a referendum thereby giving effect to the will of the people.
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
