Random drug test MPs and inform the electorate of results. Allow us to remove.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Recently, it has been widely reported in the media that a number of MPs have used drugs such as cocain. Introduce unannounced random drug testing for all MPs and, if found to have used illegal substances, inform the electorate to allow them to remove those MPs involved in using illegal substances.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can't accept petitions about appointments, which includes calling for MPs to be sacked.
