Petition MP's to answer all questions with a yes or no answer. They must then give a reason that is relevant instead of changing the subject.

More details

The purpose of this petition is to put in place a rule in the House of Commons that states MP's must answer all questions related to their work with a yes or no answer where applicable instead of changing the subject and effectively not answering the question. They must then give a relevant reason, even if wrongdoing has taken place. This will create total transparency, cut huge costs, save time and ensure they are totally accountable to their constituences. They are OUR servants after all.
