This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We can't accept your petition because we are not sure what action you would like outlawed.

Political parties can ask MPs to vote in a particular way. However, the decision is still made by the MP.

You could start a new petition calling for the UK Government to no longer appoint whips if that is something you would like to see happen.
