Ban or limit bailouts for big businesses

What the petition asks
Too many big businesses rely on the Government when they are in financial difficulty, and all too often the Government provides financial support. It has to stop. The Government should let businesses fail rather than bail them out.
The Government should ban or at least put a cap on how much financial support the Government can provide to companies in financial difficulty. This money should go to funding public services, not supporting large companies. During the current outbreak public services are more important than ever, and should take priority over support for private businesses.
