Rejected petition Anti Corruption Law for MPs
More details
Introduce law to underpin Honesty and Integrity in Politics.
Following the relentless scandals by Members of Parliament (MPs) including the Expenses Scandal, it is about time there was punishment for these Offenders in High Office who simply resign and face no prosecution, unlike the members of public they serve. Introduce a law punishable by imprisonment of those found Guilty. MPs should not be above the law. More scandals should be referred to the Police for investigation. The Government needs to be more accountable to the Public it serves, (or more often steals from or lies to). MPs are seen as untouchable and immune to prosecution in cases of theft and alike. There should be no more - one rule for them and one rule for us.
