Rejected petition Make MPs accountable for their actions in the Commons
When a male MP woofed at MP Tasmina Ahmed-Sheikh in the House of Commons, it highlighted the despicable behaviour all so prevalent. Sexism, harassment, and behaviour that would be embarrassing within a school classroom.
It is time that the behaviour in the Commons was examined and enforced.

This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. You could start a new petition explaining clearly how you would like MPs to be held accountable for their conduct in the House of Commons Chamber.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
