Stop MPs sleeping in the House of Commons!

What the petition asks
Stop MPs sleeping in the House of Commons. If any other employee was to do this, they would be dismissed. Seeing MPs live on tv sleeping and dribbling is damn right rude and makes a mockery of this country to the outside world. Do you see it in any other government? NO..... STOP BEING LAZY
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
You could start a new petition asking for the rules of the House of Commons to be changed, to provide for a specific penalty for sleeping in the Chamber, if that's what you would like to happen.
