Change the rules to allow job-sharing for Members of Parliament.

Petition Details

Parliament needs to modernise and better reflect the people it serves. One way of doing this is to allow job-sharing for MPs. This will make the job more accessible to working mothers, carers and people with disabilities and others who may not be able to work for Parliament full-time.
