Rejected petition Andrew Mitchell - Resign

More details

Andrew Mitchell should be forced to resign for bringing both his character and that of the government into disrepute.

By referring to a police officer as a "F***ing pleb" he casts himself and his party as a patrician class born to rule over a subclass of people he sees as less competent than himself.

The best qualifications for government are objectiveness and fair-mindedness. Power should not be a birthright - resign!
