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 exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. We're not sure exactly what you mean by "instant dismissal" or how you would like this to work.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could ask for the rules of the House of Commons to be changed, to introduce a penalty for MPs found to be sleeping in the House of Commons Chamber.

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