This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The UK Government and Parliament are not responsible for removing MPs from office because of their views or opinions. Any decision on whether to stand down would be a personal matter for Mr Grayling.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
