Remove MP's undeserved elevated status of 'honourable ladies\gentlemen'

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

Following the recent conduct of MP's where they have acted in neither a gentlemanly nor ladylike manner, and most certainly without the honour their constituents deserve, we request this practice is stopped, and they simply refer to themselves and each other as 'the elected member'.

Whilst we appreciate this practice is an historical privilege and an institution of the house, this only serves to reinforce our belief that the current legislature does not carry the respect nor honour in order to carry this privilege.

Time and again the British people have to watch as their elected representatives embarrass themselves and our country with their behaviour all whilst grandiosing in the revery of being 'honourable' and 'gentlemen\ladies', without even trying to act like it.
