This petition was submitted during the 2015–2017 Conservative government

Petition Set up an independent system to publicly check MPs' honesty by rigorous testing.

Multiple known cases of misdeeds in high office, widespread allegations of gross crimes & cover-ups, and the resulting public distrust of politicians, mean radical measures are now necessary - to uncover offenders, clear the innocent of undue suspicion, and so re-establish confidence in government.

More details

Testing should be first blanket, across both Houses, then randomly & at need. Public should be able to petition for testing as for the recall of an MP.
Qualified teams combining available methods (polygraph 'lie detector', micro-expressions, forensics) should inquire about crimes; blackmail; bribes; lying; withholding truth; loyalty to covert networks (e.g. Masons).
All results for each official should be published promptly & be held in perpetuity, readily available as a public record.
