Rejected
11 signatures
What the petition asks
Andrew Griffiths MP has sent over 2,000 explicit texts to 2 barmaids in his constituency. He should leave his post as MP.
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.
