Sadiq Khan should step down for politicising the London NYE firework display
The New Years Eve firework display is supposed to be a fantastic show to celebrate the end and begining of the years. However, this year it was hijacked by the political motive of the Mayor of London, with what appears to be the EU flag being displayed on the London Eye.
The display is a show of absolute disrespect for democracy.
Mr Khan has always been an avid supporter of the remain camp and has not hidden it. But to use public funding to push this agenda is out of line with Sadiq Khan's role as Mayor of London. "According to the Mayor's office, a net expenditure of £2.3m was approved for this year's fireworks display" (Evening Standard article by A. McShane). Why couldn't this funding be used to show the Union Jack in a show of support for the UK?

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The resignation of an MP/Minister would be an individual decision for that person, and not a decision for the Government or Parliament as a whole.
