Lift all restrictions on UK civil servants who want to stand to become an MP.

Petition Details

Uk civil servants are barred from becoming an MP. The basis for this rule is holding an office for profit under the crown, going back to when the Monarch was politically active and the public did not want the commons to contain Kings' men. Civil servants can only stand if they resign their job.
