Recall MPs that refuse to represent constituents or renege manifesto commitments
401 of 632 MP's constituencies voted to leave the European Union on the 23/06/2016. Political party's / MP's stood on manifesto commitments to honour the referendum result. Having failed to represent their constituents, the people should have the power to recall their representative MP.
Section 1 and 7 - 11 of the recall of MP act of 2015 should be amended to allow constituents to recall their respective MP if they no longer represent their constituents views or renege on manifesto commitments to provide a right to recourse.
The existing mechanism, whereby if 10% of constituents sign a petition which is presented to the electoral returning officer for said constituency a by-election should be trigged.
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:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
