Resigning MPs to lose their seat in Parliament

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

A lot of MPs are self serving instead of honouring there constituencies wishes. MPs are paid by the tax payer to do their bidding.
The independent party ,Hammond and 50 others have resigned since April. If I didn't do what my employer wanted I would be sacked.no wages , no retirement fund, no severence pay, and on the dole. MPs should not be immune from any of those things.

Why it was rejected

It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.

We can't accept petitions about honours and appointments, this includes petitions asking for people to lose their jobs.
