Rejected petition Dismiss Chris Chope after his unrepresentative objection to the upskirting bill.

Upskirting is a horrendous act which at last was being legislated against. Chris Chope, however, has put parliamentary procedure ahead of allowing this bill to pass through the house. This is against the views of his constituents, who current have no means to dismiss him as their MP.
