Rejected petition Stop expelling MP's from the Commons for challenging members regarding lying

Dawn Butler was recently expelled from the Commons chamber for challenging the PM about lying. This is a disgrace! It is incumbent on MP's to hold the government to task especially when deliberate falsehood is presented as the truth. MP's should not be sanctioned for this vital part of our democracy

More details

Challenging a government is to be expected. Prevention of this opens the door to systemic corruption.
