Petition · past parliament

Require all MPs to answer questions in a timely and honest way or face removal.

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

Adopt open and honest policies. No more misleading the public with half-truths. A direct question warrants a direct answer; or you will be removed.
The people deserve answer to their questions. I mean HONEST answers. All we have had is a lot of lies over the years and this must stop for us to have any confidence in the system. The corruption must stop.
