Rejected petition Ban UK MP's from working for the EU if they have ever held a seat in parliament

More details

For too long MP's have gone to work for the EU after working in British Politics.

We the people are not happy at the blatant profiteering which is taking place from the high salaries and unfathomable pension payments made to EU politicians, subsequently paid for via our EU membership payments.

We therefore call on a blanket ban on any British MP's to go and work for the EU later in life.
We believe that politicians have been encouraging EU membership of the United Kingdom to eventually secure themselves a nice position and salary working within the EU.
