Closed petition Prevent MPs having second jobs outside Parliament or Government

Closed on

Representing your constituency in parliament should be an MP's full time job.

Taking on lucrative second or in some cases third jobs outside politics can only mean less time working for their constituents and the country. This should be banned.
