Petition MP's to take Aptitude/IQ test

More details

We petition for all MP’s to take an aptitude/IQ test prior to taking a seat in Parliament
As a former member of the RAF even the lowest rank of AC has to take an aptitude test, it is based on this he is offered a position or rejected. After training he is sent into action by parliamentarians not required to take any test. This is unfair,unconscienceable and undemocratic.
This system could be used to shortlist those for those with the aptitude for ministerial positions in particular fields giving the electorate the right man for the job rather than it be based on popularity.
There has been negligence, irresponsible overspending and never any accountability resulting in investigation for criminal negligence. We have overspent, are putting in place austerity measures. it is irresponsible to demonstrate or strike.
Ignoring the policy of the past of promoting peace, promoting British Trade we now sadly follow US lead threatening violence and sanctions, destroying trade relations.
