Rejected petition Publicly release details and suspend Tory MP being investigated for rape.

The Conservative Party must withdraw the whip from the accused MP alongside publicly naming them.

More details

The electorate deserves to know that their lawmakers are law abiding citizens themselves. The Conservatives can and should set a precedent for all rape and sexual assault investigations to be taken seriously within the party and amongst the wider political landscape.
As the self proclaimed party of “Law and Order” you have a basic level of responsibility to practice what they preach.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or House of Commons is responsible for.

Withdrawing the party whip would be a matter for the Conservative Party, and deciding whether to name an individual charged with a crime is a matter for the police and Crown Prosecution Service.

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