Rejected petition Members to answer "Does human life/wellbeing matter more than profit? - Yes/No"

I would like for all members to be honest about a very simple question:
"Does human life/wellbeing matter more than profit? - Yes/No"
With that one simple answer - or any individual's refusal to answer it - the country will be able to see precisely where each representative stands.

More details

There are so many issues facing society today that it feels like we are always playing political whack-a-mole. Petitions and protests abound around cuts to the NHS, welfare services and education; discriminations against race/belief/gender identity/sexual preference/physical and neurological abilities; and our failure to act upon the climate crisis, to name but a few.

All of these issues can be reduced down to a single question: "Does human life/wellbeing matter more than profit? - Yes/No".
