Petition Referendum vote to change the electoral rules to improve the standard of MPs

2. MPs (current and future) only allowed in office for two parliamentary terms, preventing career politicians and encourage working people to enter parliament
More details
MPs have spent over 2 years debating Brexit and to many this has demonstrated they are incompetent in their political roles. Within the Westminster bubble MPs from all parties debate, argue and frustrate the political process with more focus on their political careers. If these Members of Parliament had been in business, they would have been sacked by now.
This petition is to provide an opportunity to change the electoral rules to ensure we improve the standard of MPs in the future.
