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'

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.
