Rejected petition To become an MP a person will have to complete 12 years in national services
In recent years it has become clear that MPs have become more disconnected from their constituents that they serve. Therefore I believe they should complete at least 12 years in national services i.e Armed Forces, Police, NHS, Fire Service or Education.
More details
I firmly believe that experience in these areas will give aspiring MPs a broader sense of duty to their constituents and country. We need to end career politicians and give the voter politicians that have experienced public service and have their best interest at heart.
