Rejected petition: Make it law: anyone who works in public service to reveal their affiliations.
Rejected on
Require anyone who works in public office, and powerful civil servants, to legally declare any affiliations with or to: World Economic Forum, Fabian Society, donors, ect. They must also openly declare anything that they undertake on behalf of any outside influence. This must be rigorously enforced.
The true transparency of government officials and high ranking civil servants. Affiliations with powerful quangos, think tanks, wealthy donors ect, should legally be brought to the attention of whom they represent: the public. This, I believe, would steer our government onto a path that truly serves the interests of the electorate. For too long now, our elected representatives have served the interests of certian institutions or wealthy donors; this has to stop! Please sign this petition.
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Public office holders in the UK are already required to to report and register financial and personal interests that might reasonably be thought to influence their public duties.
In addition, the Civil Service Management Code requires that senior civil servants must not take part in national political activities, must seek permission to take part in local political activities and must comply with any conditions laid down by their department or agency.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
