Change the rules so that MPs cannot have second jobs while serving in Parliament

Petition Details

Research has found that 73 MPs were paid £3.4million in the past 12 months for "external advisory roles” alone. Some MPs have multiple jobs. Being a member of Parliament should be a full time job, not a part time one. They are elected to serve, so there needs to be a limit on outside employment.
