Petition Get rid of career politicians

More details

We need rid of career politicians. No one should be able to leave university, work as a researcher to a minister & be dropped into a safe seat. The law should say - "no one can stand for Parliament unless they have worked outside politics for AT LEAST ten years AND during that time they can show service to others". Such a law would make for better politicians - who would have the experience to SERVE us all better.
