Rejected petition Reverese the Ministerial Code changes made in May 2022

Ministers and Government officials should be expected to lead by example and abide by the highest moral standards of integrity, honesty, trust and transparency.

Reinstate the expectation that breaches of the Ministerial Code should be met with resignation by the offending Politician.

More details

Prior to May 2022 The Ministerial code made it clear that Politicians who did not have the moral fiber to adhere to the high principles expected when representing the British people do not deserve their position and should therefore resign.

Therefore the changes made to The Ministerial Code in May 2022 should be reversed.
