Make Christopher Chope resign as mp

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

Christopher Chope blocked a bill to prevent photographs being taken of people under their clothes without consent. Imagine being a person against sexual harassment.
I find this disgusting and so do the majority of mp's, this is a call for Christopher Chope to resign.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

The resignation of an MP would be an individual decision for that person, and not a decision for the Government or Parliament as a whole.
