This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We can't accept your petition because we are not sure what action you would like the UK Government or House of Commons to take.

There is already legislation that allows an MP to be recalled in certain circumstances. You can find out more here:

You could start a new petition setting out clearly the changes you would like to see to the law.
