Withdrawal of the application of whipping to debates on e-petitions
We believe that the application of "whipping" by Party Leaders in debates arising from issues raised in e-petitions is inappropriate to a democratic decision called for by petitioners.
Such a practice should be banned as an undemocratic use of political power.
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.
