Make MPs more accountable for their statements, behaviour and decisions

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

We are subject to monitoring in school and the workplace. We, the people, have to adhere to rules and answer for our mistakes, MPs don't. They walk away from expensive mistakes with high salaries and 'gold plated pensions'. It's time for MPs to answer for their mistakes in a more meaningful way
