Rejected petition Ban any MP who decides to take a nap in the house of parliament at our expense!

It is sickening that MPs sleep whilst on the job at our expense. Ban them from the houses of Parliament and fine them for wasting tax payers money. If they are not interested in the job appoint ones that wish to make our country better and not docile. It is now acceptable. It is embarrising.

More details

Photographs are littered all over the Internet of MPs sleeping and not taking a valid role in their position. Sort it out.

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.

We're not sure what you mean by "ban any MP". We're not sure whether you'd like MPs to be suspended from the House for a short period if they are found to be sleeping during a debate, or whether you are asking for a permanent ban. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
