Make it an offence for MPs to fall asleep in the House of Commons/lords

Petition Details

Falling asleep on the job shows so much disrespect to our parliamentary process and the people they represent. This is an example of how it’s one rule for them and one rule for us, I’d be fired in a second if I was asleep on the job. They should be fired with immediate effect and fined if caught.

Additional Information

I started this after seeing more pictures than I can count of MPs asleep on the job and as far as I’m aware they get paid for turning up. I find this disgusting and it needs to be stoped ASAP in my opinion as it wouldn’t be tolerated in any other workspace.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. MPs are not employees of Parliament, so we're not sure exactly what you mean by "they should be fired with immediate effect and fined if caught" or how you would like this to work.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
