Rejected petition Stop any MP being investigated for fraud being allowed to stand in the election
If fraud may have taken place in the last general election and is being investigated letting the same people stand could lead to more fraud and be undemocratic. Stoping anyone who is under investigation would stop this threat to a fair election.
