Seize assets held by anyone with close ties to the Russian government

What the petition asks
Pass laws to seize assets belonging to anyone with close ties to the Russian government and sell said assets to help fund our NHS and local authorities.
We believe current sanctions are inadequate at preventing states from behaving in negative ways. Directly removing assets with no compensation will hurt them far more.
