What the petition asks
Recently Kit Malthouse was asked to step down as patron of an MS society stating
"I have no desire to remain if their members do not wish me to do so."
"MS has affected my wider family in the past" I believe Kit Malthouse to be acting against the wishes of his constituents in voting for ESA cuts.
"I have no desire to remain if their members do not wish me to do so."
"MS has affected my wider family in the past" I believe Kit Malthouse to be acting against the wishes of his constituents in voting for ESA cuts.
Kit Malthouse recently voted for cuts to the ESA affecting some of the most vulnerable people in our society. As a member of his constituency, I do not wish him to remain as my M.P. I ask he be a man of his word, and if this petition reaches parliament that he also resigns as the M.P. for N. W Hampshire.
Kit not listening to those he was elected to serve. I believe him to be acting against the wishes of the vast majority of those he was elected to serve. I request his resignation.

Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
The resignation of an individual MP is a decision for the individual rather than the UK Government or Parliament as a whole.
