Rejected petition Reinstate the ministerial code
Rejected on
The original ministerial code should be reinstated in light of party gate its reported heavily that boris johnson has made changes to the code that would benefit massively if he is found to of misled parliament which for years has always been a sackable offence
No politician or political party should have the right to change a code that sets the culture of behaviour that ministers must abide by at all times changes to this so one or more benefit from this undermines our democracy as we know it changes to the code should be decided by an independent body that is free from any political pressure or persuasion from any party in this country
