This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The resignation of an MP would be an individual decision for that person, and not a decision for the Government or Parliament as a whole.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
