Rejected petition The Obligatory Drugs Testing of All Members of Parliament

More details

With the recent story of trace amounts of cocaine having been found in nine different cubicles which are unavailable to the general public, I feel it is necessary that all members of the House of Commons to undergo obligatory drug testing on a regular basis from an independent body.
If these people are to be given the privilege of being able to write the laws then they should be the ones to abide by them the most.

Any member of Parliament to test positive to a controlled substance should immediately step-down from their position and be banned from representing Parliament indefinitely.
