Dispense with the description "Right Honourable" for MP's
Given that most MP's, including those in the present government, appear to have a problem with the concept of honour, the title of "Right Honourable" should no longer be applied to them.
Following the expenses debacle, and taking into account the disengenuous way the present government is treating the electorate, a debate within the house on the meaning of honour, and the behaviour expected of MP's is long overdue.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Not all MPs are entitled to use the title "Right honourable". This is a title that may be used by members of the Privy Council. You can find out more about the Privy Council here:

Not all members of the Privy Council are MPs.
During debates, MPs refer to other MPs (if they are not members of the Privy Council) as "the honourable gentlemen/lady" or "my honourable friend".
