Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. We're not sure what law you would like MPs to be prosecuted under.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do, such as ending the ability to participate in virtual Parliamentary proceedings, if that's what you'd like to see happen.
