Petition MPs and council leaders should cease second occupations until they leave office.

To prevent conflict of interest in the political arena, any person representing the PEOPLE should cease any activities that produce a second income.

More details

When persons are employed by the public purse they should put 100% of their effort into their job. It is known that some tenders for works within the public sector have directly and indirectly benefited State employed individuals. This is morally wrong and adds to the current lack of trust the Public have in our Government and Councils.
