Rejected petition Make MPs have an MP qualification before being able to run in an election.
Rejected on
In an increasingly complex world and in light of recent events, the only way to restore public trust in MP's is to have them suitably qualified to take office. Other professions have professional qualifications that they have to pass before allowing them to be responsible for others so why not MPs?
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
