I petition that although he has made no reference to the aforementioned purchasing of a replica uniform it is instrumental in the reasoning behind his decision.\r\n\r\nIf his position is untenable at the 2015 general election, it is untenable now, and the Conservative Member for Cannock Chase should resign as MP forthwith and his constituents should be able to vote for a new MP in a by election at the earliest opportunity.
