What the petition asks

Too many politicians have personal agendas and this is a conflict of interest when it comes to making decisions for their constituents and Great Britain as a whole.
I feel the reason for becoming a politician, to create change, has become lost in the huge paycheck they receive. This is wrong.

Please sign the petition and let’s change the way this country is run. Not for a paycheck but for real, honest reasons.

This country should not be governed by the privileged, privately educated few, who have never worked a real job in their lives but by those who want real change. Those who have worked for minimum wage. Those who have survived using food banks. Those who give their all saving lives. Those who understand what it means to live in the real world, with real problems.
Thank you.
