Require convicted MPs, Peers and Civil Servants to be removed from office

Closed 306 signatures

What the petition asks

When MPs, members of the House of Lords and civil servants are found guilty of a criminal offence, we think they should be removed from office. In the case of MPs, a by-election should be called to find a replacement.
We feel that the government works for the British public and we shouldn't have criminals making laws for us if they don't even follow the law themselves. We think politicians should lead by example.
