Rejected petition UK Govt to put a stop to MPs having more than one job with Govt at a time.

Douglas Ross is an MP for Highlands & Islands plus an MSP in Moray plus The Leader of Scottish Tories. He also has job as a football linesman.

More details

How can one person consider all these jobs. His income alone is a disgrace plus all the expenses too. He cannot possibly do all four jobs.

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. We're not sure whether you want to prevent politicians serving in more than one Parliament (such as the UK Parliament and the Scottish Parliament) or a ban on multiple jobs in all cirumstances.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do, or you might like to sign this petition
