Rejected petition Remove all of those MPs who were involved in the expenses scandal

More details

The MPs who utilised tax payers' money for their own selfish benefits have only had minor "punishments": to pay it back and suffer a mild humiliation. If this were to occur in the civil service sector, the worker in question would be removed from his/her post immediately. Of course, this is unjust, as Members of Parliament are no different to hard working civilians, and so we believe that they should be treated in the same way.
This petition is to encourage the prohibition of running for re-election for those MPs who have been found to be guilty of meddling in expenses.
