Anti Pork Barrel Politics, Incentives and promises in return for votes.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

With reports of incentives and promises of various kinds in return for supporting the UK Governments Withdrawal Agreement we need to call out and challenge the morality and potential criminality of this behaviour.
In addition to the Bribery Act 2010 the UK is a signatory to a number of international anti-corruption instruments including the UN Convention against Corruption, the OECD Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials (1997) and the Council of Europe Criminal Law Convention on Corruption (1998) and additional Protocol (2005).
Lets start the debate on this.
