Remove Heather Wheeler from parliament for despicable public communication.

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

Heather Wheeler's Twitter comments about the British Empire amount to an insult to independent nations around the world, as well as decent-minded Britains. Such public comments succinctly demonstrate her unsuitably for 21 century political office. We ask that she be removed from parliament.
