Rejected petition MPs to send their children to state schools, with no exceptions.

More details

Very simply, we think it appropriate and only fair that Members of Parliament have the same "choice" as the majority of the people they serve: i.e. "This state school or that state school?".

MPs enjoy many privileges, many of them deserved. As representatives of the people, and individuals with the needs of the "common man" at heart, surely there is no question that the education system they manage is every bit good enough for anybody, including - nay especially - their own children.

It is wondered what 'state' schools might be in, ten years from today, were this introduced tomorrow.
