If MPs are deselected by their constituents they should lose their severance pay

Petition Details

If they do not represent the wishes of the electorate, they should lose their severance package. In other jobs where you are sacked this is the situation. Focus the minds of those MPs currently ignoring the electorate and not caring if they lose their seats having a "Golden Parachute" to retire on.

Additional Information

This Parliament consists of MPs who were elected because of their electoral promises. There are now a large number of MPs who are turning their backs on their promises and supporting the opposite view. The wishes of the Majority of the electorate is paramount and not the self-serving interests of the minority including MPs.
