This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Petition Remove all taxpayer funded security arrangements and bodyguards for elected politicians.
More details
It is a gross immorality that the population pays, through its taxes, to keep secure and safe those very politicians (and their families) who have failed to protect that population. Only if politicians were labouring under the same threats to them that are now obviously on the general public because of radical Islam, can they be expected to do anything about it. The only other option is for the government to fund security and bodyguards for everybody.
