What the petition asks
We, the undersigned, demand that the Scottish National Party dismiss the MP for Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross.
His public comments regarding The Scottish Independence Referendum, the Middle East Conflict and online trolls demonstrate that his conduct is completely unbecoming of an MP.
His public comments regarding The Scottish Independence Referendum, the Middle East Conflict and online trolls demonstrate that his conduct is completely unbecoming of an MP.
Accusing "the proud Jewish race" of "persecuting the people of Gaza". Stating that anyone who voted No in the indepedence referendum "does not care about Scotland". Encouraging a troll who expressed a desire to "get rid of all the pakis.”. Saying the Union Flag should be ripped up and is 'unfit to wipe the floor of a pigsty'.
These are public statements by the SNP's Dr Paul Monaghan MP. He is unfit to represent the people of his constituency and should be removed from his position immediately.
