Stop the use of 'Right Honourable' a false term that has not been demonstrated.

Petition Details

The term right honorable, given the latest conduct and lack of integrity of some members in the House of Commons is false. Use the term 'The Member representing 'name of consistency'. Perhaps this would help MP's remember who they represent and who put them them there.

This petition was rejected

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 to all MPs and 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.

You could start a new petition asking for MPs to call each other by their names rather than titles when addressing each other in debates.
