Ban All Political Parties from Whipping MPs allowing all votes to be free votes

Petition Details

Political Parties have to much power over MP's , constituents vote for MP's first, this vote for an MP may or may not reflect the constituents liking of a Political Party. If an MP is affiliated to a Political Party that party should be stopped from compelling an MP from voting in anyway.

Additional Information

British Politics is broken, All MP's should be able to vote with there own conscience without fear of repercussions or reprisals from any party they are affiliated with. MP's need to have the freedom to represent the people who voted for them not be constrained by Political parties they are affiliated to.

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 banned.

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.
