Rejected petition Reject Modernity, Embrace Tradition.

Reject Modernity, and embrace Tradition. The folly of Parliament so far has been to allow mobile phones into the House. This is utterly absurd! They should instead be engaged in the goings on of the House in which they reside.

More details

MPs represent around 70,000 people each, and they should be engaged in the debate as a point of principle. Using distractions like mobile phones in the House shows a lack of appreciation for their constituencies or the importance of their job.
