Call a general election in which all current MP’s are barred from standing.

Petition Details

MP’s of all political parties have shown their incompetence and arrogance in the failure to deliver the mandate voted for by the British people in the 2016 referendum. Democracy has been diminished, trust has been lost. The public are not represented.

Additional Information

Career Politicians are bed blocking safe constituency seats, effectively stifling new ideas and debate.
It is time to drain the Westminster swamp and open up all constituencies to new candidates.
