Reintroduce The Pledge David Cameron Dropped to allow Voters to expell MP's.

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

David Cameron pledged he would allow voters the right to expell MP's who had been found guilty of serious 'wrongdoing'
In the wake of the Paris attacks, UK citizens feel that MP's including the Prime Minister are guilty of serious 'wrongdoing' in allowing our borders to be open for such a threat.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We're not sure what action you would like to see. We think you are referring to the Recall of MPs Act 2015, which is now in law:

http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2015/25/contents/enacted

If you would like the law to be changed, you could start a petition calling for a change. We already have one petition about this:

Amend The Recall of MP's Act

You could sign this petition if you agree with it, or start a new one if you have a different request.
