To remove the title ‘Honourable’ and ‘Right Honourable’ from convicted MP’s
members of parliament should have the utmost level of honesty and integrity, after being convicted of a crime that cause their values and behaviour to come into direct conflict with the ideals of Honesty & Integrity should still be addressed as the Honourable or Right Honourable.
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 the title "Right Honourable" is given to Privy Councillors when they are appointed to the Privy Council. It isn't given by Parliament, so Parliament can't take it away. In any case, we can't accept petitions asking for an honour to be taken away from someone. MPs use the term honourable to refer to each other in the House of Commons, but it isn't a formal title that can be removed.
You might like to sign this petition, which calls for MPs to be able to call each other by their names only:
