What the petition asks
Due to the current turmoil in the United Kingdom over brexit, and the debates in parliament, It is increasingly obvious that when viewing on television, most MP’S always on mobiles most of the public can’t use mobiles at work. Let’s ban MP’s so they have full attention on matters being discussed.
Police, teachers, and even down to care workers, supermarket staff, cannot use a mobile while, doing their duty of work, as it would be viewed as undermining their commitment, and performance, why should MP’s be allowed to do such, they are supposed to be in a trusted position to run our country efficiently, and that cannot be achieved by being distracted on mobiles, their is a ban on using a mobile while driving as it affects concentration, so remove the right from MP’s while in session
