Petition Action

Allow Constituents to recall (sack) their Member of Parliament Representative.

Petition Details

The past few years have lead to great division, with a large number of MP's voting against the wishes of their constituents and not 'representing' them. MP's should 'serve' their constituents, not 'rule' them.
There is no current mechanism to remove those MP's from Office.

Additional Information

We have seen a number of MP's resign from the Party they were elected under, Umunna, Smith, Shuker et al. Even more are currently voting against the mandate they were given by their constituents, Cooper, Soubrey, McFadden, Beckett and more.
They are breaching their public's trust and guidance.
There should be an immediate mechanism to allow the public to remove those individuals from office.
There is currently nothing short of the 4 year election cycle, and this is wrong.
