This petition was submitted during the 2017 to 2019 Parliament
Rejected petition MPs who break their oath of allegiance to the Monarch should resign.
Rejected on
When an MP takes office, they pledge an oath of allegiance to the Monarch. MPs who break that tradition are betraying that oath and should resign with immediate effect.
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
The resignation of an MP would be an individual decision for that person, and not a decision for the Government or Parliament as a whole.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
