Rejected petition Stop MPs taking any other jobs as they are elected to serve their constituents.

Members of Parliament are privileged to be the 650 UK Citizens democratically elected as representatives for their constituents. MPs are paid well as full time Public Servants. MPs taking other jobs may cause conflicts of interest and mean they are not focussed on the job they were elected to do.
