Closed Standards of Service From MPs and Ministers

Closed on

MPs and Ministers have forgotten that they are in office to serve the public and not vice versa. Five year elections provide no real accountability from MPs and Ministers hide in their ivory towers and ignore the public.

This petition calls on the government to implement minimum standards of service from MPs and Ministers in response to enquiries from the public. MP's accountability is limited to constituents but Ministers must account to any British citizen.

An integral part of these standards is a complaints system with the power to implement meaningful sanctions.against the MP or Minister personally.
