Remove "Honourable" or "Right Honourable" prefix from MPs who voted down the rule of law
The Issue
340 MPs have just voted to pass the Internal Market Bill in its second reading (14 September 2020). 263 MPs voted against this. According to the government, this bill allows ministers to make regulations inconsistent with the UK’s obligations under the Withdrawal Agreement - effectively allowing them to renege on that agreement and in so doing break international law.
The prefix "Honourable" is used to address MPs in Parliament and "Right Honourable" is used to address others. The term is taken from the French honorable and ultimately derived from the Latin honorabilis (“worthy of honour”).
In passing the Internal Market Bill, the 340 MPs who have supported it and thus demonstrated their support for the government to break international law have clearly demonstrated that they lack the quality of knowing and doing what is morally right and as such are not "worthy of honour" and so the titles "Honourable" and "Right Honourable" should be stripped from those 340 MPs who have encouraged others to break the law.
There is little the UK electorate can do to show its displeasure with the direction the current government is taking the country in, but this would be a daily reminder to those 340 MPs of their inability to know and do what is morally right.
