This petition was submitted during the 2019 to 2024 Parliament
Rejected petition Remove the title “Right Honourable” from MPs that tell lies to the public.
Rejected on
To help protect the public from lying politicians.
To strike the title from any politician proven to be a liar in public life.
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
Appointments to the Privy Council, which determines whether a person is referred to as "Right Honourable", are made by the Sovereign and are for life, so this is not something the Government or House of Commons are responsible for.
