Closed Ban MPs from having other jobs and require declaration of all bank accounts

Closed on

To make it illegal for MPs having any other job apart from the one elected to do, including after dinner speaking, and to create a requirement for MPs to declare all bank accounts, including any offshore accounts.

We believe this would help reduce the risk of corruption or privateering from the positions of power and trust that MPs have.

We believe many MPs abuse their position for financial gain, including six-figure sums for speaking at events.

The only exceptions to these rules should be if all the money is donated to a charity, and is not for personal gain.
