Closed petition To have all court judges voted for as MPs are voted for
Closed on
We want all judges to be voted for, making them answerable to the public instead of the present system where they are appointed by the Judicial Appointments Commission and Lord Chancellor.
We believe many judges are not in touch with the general public and too often make decisions that are not helpful to the country.
