Any politicians caught sleeping in the house of commons should be sacked.

What the petition asks

Due to the rediculous amount of politicians caught sleeping in the house of commons whilst being paid out of the public purse, the public has now had enough. Fire them immediately. It is not in the public interest to waste vital public money on wages for these scroungers. We demand their dismissal.
All the evidence needed is the repeated capture on live tv of them sleeping whilst being paid from tax payers money. In an age where unemployed are accused of benefit scrounging by politicians, this behaviour is disgusting and demands immediate action.
