Petition Apply an income tax rate of 99% to MPs' additional incomes

Tax any income MPs get other than their Parliamentary Salary at a rate of 99%

More details

This should include unearned income and gifts

We believe far too many MPs take on 'work' in addition to their role as an MP.
We think successive governments have lost the trust of the electorate by accepting gifts & money from businesses & individuals which could be perceived as being at odds with public interest.
We think this could remove the populist idea that 'they're only in it for the money' which could regain trust.
It may also encourage philanthropy and the beginning of the end of the division in society we feel we are seeing today.
