Rejected petition: Ban MPs from drinking whilst voting.
Rejected on
To ban all alcohol in parliment whilst MPs are voting on decisions that effect millions of people around the country.
In any other profession you would not be allowed to drink during the day. If a teacher or doctor drank before going into a lesson with children or a surgery on a patient they would be fired immediately.
MPs represent and decide on votes that affect millions around the country.
