Change the vote on Syria as MPs have conflict of interest, links with arms firms
Many of the representatives in the House of Commons, have share holdings, board seats and other financial interests within the arms manufacturing industry. This is common knowledge and has been reported widely.
This is a massive conflict of interest and the yes vote should be overturned.
I believe this also breaches the Ministerial Code.
MPs Code of Conduct.
IV. General Principles of Conduct
"Selflessness"
Holders of public office should take decisions solely in terms of the public interest. They should not do so in order to gain financial or other material benefits for themselves, their family, or their friends.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
If you would like the House of Commons to reconsider its decision on taking military action in Syria, you could sign a petition opposing military action in Syria.
The House of Commons already has rules about MPs' interests.The full rules are set out in the House of Commons Code of Conduct:

If there is a specific change that you would like to be made to the rules, you could start a petition asking for that change.
