Petition Action

Make a new Law to trigger by-election if any MP votes against their constiuents.

Petition Details

bring In new law to trigger by-election for any MP who in Parliament votes against his or her constituency after a refendum or votes against what they campaigned for on their manifesto.

Additional Information

If a member of Parliament knowingly votes against the majority of his/her constituency then they are being undemocratic.

Also if a member campaigned to get in office, stating I stand for X then upon gaining office they then vote against X they then have been dishonest and are therefore no longer honourable.

Their constituents should then be allowed a new By-election based on their new intentions and what they now stand for, if they do this twice they should be barred from standing.
