The people demand a free vote on whether the UK stays in the EU as we are, on re-negotiated terms or we leave. We further require that Parliament votes freely on this issue without political interference.

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not responsible for.

Whipping is a matter for political parties, and not HM Government

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
