Open Set minimum MP attendance requirements and automatic by-election if not met

Created by Simon Peppr
Closes on

Introduce a minimum level of attendance of an MP in the House. In our view, this is the role they were elected to perform by their constituents, and therefore a minimum attendance level should be required. If levels fall, the constituents should be able to remove them as an MP through a by-election.

We believe that there a number of MPs that are spending more time with external roles, earning money for themselves and neglecting their basic responsibilities and function of an MP, ie working for the people that elected them and not themselves or their party.
