Petition · past parliament

MP'S to serve for no more than 10 years.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The referendum has clearly shown that the career politicians are significantly out of touch with the very people that they are supposed to represent. I now believe that MP's should be restricted to a maximum of 2 terms/10 years. This will refresh parliament and keep it up to date and in touch.
17.4million people voted to leave the EU, a majority, but a majority of the MP's want to remain in the EU and have worked to stop the referendum result being auctioned.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

Change the way parliament works so that MPs' role is not a career.
