Ban whipping of MPs to vote in accordance with party lines. This is undemocratic
Although Parliament and the Government are not responsible for rules concerning this, I propose that a bill is put through Parliament to bring it into law that the whipping of MPs becomes illegal.
MPs are elected to represent the interests of their constituents and should therefore be free to vote upon bills on their behalf as they see fit. Dictating how they should vote is wholly undemocratic.
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:
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about whipping are the responsibility of the political parties, and decisions about how to vote in the House of Commons are the responsibility of individual MPs, not the UK Government or Parliament as a whole.
