This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Petition Create non-geographical parliamentary constituencies for our Armed Forces.
Depending on individual circumstances, service personnel register to vote using an address which is either: their current address; one where they would reside but for their service, or a previous address. Thus personnel at any one location may be represented by MPs, from across the political divide.
More details
Our Armed Forces deserve to elect their own MPs, rather than have them chosen by an electorate with little appreciation of service life and the conditions under which the military operate both here and abroad.
Without independent representation, or a formal federation, our Armed Forces are unable to make their views known in a coherent manner. Non-geographical constituencies will enable service personnel to elect their own MPs, wherever they serve or live, and be seen as an identifiable entity.
