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 subject to the same criminal laws as other citizens. Decisions about sentences in individual cases are the responsibility of the courts, which are independent.

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