Rejected petition Make all members of Parliament pass regular drug and alcohol tests

As a utility worker I work hard and am drug free. I am subject to random drug and alcohol tests, with my employer having a zero tolerance policy. I feel as MP's are in a position of power, they too should be drug free, and able to prove it at the request of the population.
