This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament
Rejected petition Politicians must pay full UK tax on their investments.
Politicians and members of the government are public servants. If they have a vested interest in using their position of privilege to avoid paying as much tax as an average person in the UK.
More details
If politicians don't support the UK economy are they truly UK citizens? Nor can they actually have the UK as a country's best interests at heart.
After all if they or their companies are not responsible for supporting the systems they implement do they deserve to be in their honourable positions.
