Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

In light of recent news of Cocaine use at various parliamentary locations, all Members of Parliament should be routinely and regularly tested for illegal drug use.
No one is above the law and Class A drug use is illegal. Cocaine in particular is know to severely depreciate cognitive function and therefore decision making abilities. The Members of Parliament whom are entrusted to make the best choices on behalf of the citizens must be sober and not partaking in the use of mind-altering, illegal substances.
