Rejected petition Drug testing for MPs and Councilors and officials.

More details

I would like drug testing to be brought in to ensure that persons in positions of authority such as Members of Parliament and council officals to ensure they are not under the influence of illigal drugs when making decisions that would effect the running of the country.

I think these measures are essential to ensure these professions are brought inline with other professions in the country regarding drugs missuse and under the influence of drugs whilst at work with gross miconduct charges resulting in being fired as a possiblity for these elected and non elected officials.
