Petition No Convicted Criminals allowed to sit in the House of Commons or the House of Lords

More details

Any member of the House of Commons or the House of Lords convicted of a criminal offence no matter how large or small should automatically be expelled from their position and loose all of their rights & privilages. How can honest, hard working members of this country be expected to behave when these people are allowed to resume their duties in bestowing & creating laws that we all have to abide by when they themselves are guilty by conviction. This is just blatant hypocrisy.
