Cease the use of 'Right Honourable' when referring to MPs.
I want the title of 'Right Honourable' and any variations to be revoked from Members of Parliament. It should not be used in official documentation, as the suggestion that an MP is automatically 'right' and 'honourable' is unsubstantiated.
Members of Parliament are not required to be 'right' or 'honourable'. With increasing frequency, they are shown to be neither.
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:
Appointments to the Privy Council, which determines whether a person is referred to as "Right Honourable", are made by the Sovereign and are for life, so this is not something the Government or House of Commons are responsible for.
