Closed petition: Require Members of Parliament to have min 15yrs work experience outside politics
Closed on
Ensure the elected representatives of the people have the relevant real world experience necessary to make more informed decisions.
Anyone sitting in parliament should have a minimum of 15 years PAYE outside of politics
We feel career politicians cannot truly comprehend and manage something they may have no real world experience of.
Much like someone studying very hard for many years academically then being let loose as a brain surgeon!
