This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament
Rejected petition Members of Parliament should have job descriptions and terms of reference.
Following the 2016 referendum, it is important for the general public to have confidence in Parliament to uphold the wishes of UK public first, their own constituents second and their personal views third.
Terms of reference for MPs could be developed through public consultation
More details
Members of Parliament should have 'terms of reference' included in their party's manifesto. The terms of reference must include the need to represent their constituents following election. In the event of a national referendum, their allegiance to the referendum result would take precedence.
Party manifestos should be auditable and measured.
