Petition Stop career politicians from sitting in Parliament

More details

This is a petition aimed at stopping MP's from being constantly elected to sit in Parliament. After a while a career politician is not looking after the interests of the electorate but they are looking after themselves. I propose that a MP can only be elected for 2 terms and then is forced to stand down for 1 term of office. This will stand a chance of breaking the strangle hold that some people have on politics and get fresh views on matters that concern us all.
