Rejected petition Change the rules to allow petitions regarding misconduct in public office by elected politicians.

More details

Recent compensation orders caused by politicians acting illegally have resulted in HUGE bills for the taxpayer while the politician involved languishes in taxpayer funded heat and light in his home. The public MUST have the right to petition for legal action to be taken against politicians who commit criminal acts and defend that act by claiming they received legal advice to act that way. That advice MUST be challengeable by the public - THEY PAID FOR IT (TWICE OVER) SO THEY MUST BE ALLOWED TO SEE IT.
