Rejected petition To stop MP's having other business interests while working as MPS.
Rejected on
To stop MP's having other business interests while working as MPS , this is a conflict of interest. Example, a Police Officer can not work in a bar or be a doorman as it is a conflict of interest, so why are MP's allowed to? It's morally wrong!
