To urge a petition officer to open a recall petition for MP Christopher Chope
Chris Chope MP today 8.2.18 blocked legislation to protect women and girls for genital mutilation.
Not only is this abhorrent in itself, may promote violence against women.
This is not someone who should be representing our country in parliament.
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:
We can't accept your petition because this wouldn't be the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
In any case, under the Recall of MPs Act 2015 a recall petition can only be opened if an MP is sentenced to a prison term, is suspended from the House of Commons for at least 10 sitting days or is convicted of providing false information under the Parliamentary Standards Act 2009.
