Petition

Drug test all MPs and the Prime Minister

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

Leaders lead by example. Therefore, drug taking is not acceptable. Random drug testing needs to be implemented immediately. If found guilty they should face the law like anyone else.
Prolonged use of substances effect a persons judgement, therefore it is imperative that those in positions of power, especially those dealing with wars, are not under the influence of any illegal substances.
