Rejected petition MP's Public Integrity Hearings

More details

Numerous Polls show that Members of Parliament (MP's) have the lowest level of trust.
There should be public scrutiny and Integrity Hearings with a presiding legally qualified Chairman.
There should be powers to force resignations or to resort to criminal proceedings etc.
In light of allegations of expenses scandals and the 'vanishing' or destruction of evidence - the Chair can seize all evidence pending a Hearing.
This will instill trust in Politics which appears to be the only public body short of scrutiny.
