Rejected petition Compulsory random drugs test for all MPs with a zero tolerance policy.

After recent article I saw in the paper, suspecting politicians (no names) of using illegal drugs, I am astounded there is no compulsory drugs testing for MPs. This has been incorporated in the military for many years and has been a great success.

More details

I hope no MPs take illegal drugs however it could, and probably does, happen. By applying compulsory random drugs testing it will confirm if they have or haven’t taken drugs recently. If caught, the MP in question should be removed from their post with immediate effect, and a by-election taken place to replace them.
