Rejected petition MP,s to declare self interest before giving views on Brexit negotiations.

I would ask that consideration be given, to require any MP or Lord or Lady that expresses their opinion to influence others, in the course of the on going negotiations for leaving the EU, be required to give details publicly of any financial or other interests that may influence their opinion.

More details

All to often in the on going process that will lead to Britain leaving the European Union. Ex Prime Minister's, Lords. People of supposed rank with an obvious self interest, have used the media to express negative comment, that is without value to our government as they seek to gain the best for our country. By them being required to tell the whole story before expressing their opinion, the people will have a clear view of why they hold that opinion.
