Rejected petition Dismiss Members of Parliament who are convicted of Criminal Offences.

MP Chris Davies has just been fined £1500 after pleading guilty to providing false or misleading information for allowance claims. MP Fiona Onasanya served a prison sentence after being found guilty of Perverting the course of Justice.
MPs should face dismissal on criminal conviction.

More details

Faith in our Parliamentarians is at an all time low and for the Public to see these people (who are supposed to represent the very highest standards) committing criminal offences and then continuing as though nothing has occurred is absolutely unacceptable.
Members of other occupations are held to the highest standards and MPs should be too.
The rules should be changed so that our MPs are automatically removed from their roles on conviction of any criminal offence involving dishonesty.
